UNSPSC 50401846: Runner beans

The variety of beans known as runner beans

UNSPSC 50401846 Runner beans is a Commodity code that spans fresh-produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities show the code applied primarily to broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations rather than runner beans specifically. State and local buyers under this family procure fresh produce for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, state hospitals and supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and regional parks. Recent solicitations name produce deliveries with specific line items such as carrots, potatoes, onions, lettuce, apples, bananas, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, and beans — often with quality and freshness standards, traceability documentation, and USDA compliance requirements. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (prison food warehouses), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health (institutional facilities), school districts in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Wisconsin, county governments (Collier County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County), the City of San Antonio, and Head Start child care programs. Delivery typically occurs on FOB Destination terms with the vendor bearing transportation and handling costs, and contracts generally run one fiscal or school year with optional renewal periods.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with notable recent solicitations from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable awards to regional food warehouses in Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine, posted September–October 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (canteen and food service consumables for Lufkin and Mexia state supported living centers, posted August 2026), school districts across Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, the Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet Treatment Center (bi-weekly produce delivery under small-business set-aside, posted August 2026), and Collier County Parks in Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (consumables and prepared foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine facility, proposals due October 19, 2026), the Dougherty County Board of Education sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (40 line items, bids due June 16, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 (fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, approximately 5,900 servings weekly, bids due July 29, 2026 with 400-mile sourcing requirement within Wisconsin and Wisconsin Diversity Program preference eligibility).
