UNSPSC 50401848: Tamarind beans

The variety of beans known as tamarind beans

UNSPSC 50401848 Tamarind beans is a Commodity code that receives virtually no recent solicitation activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span school district fresh produce procurement, criminal justice institutional food service, and child nutrition programs—none of which reference tamarind beans or any legume products resembling this specification. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that tamarind beans as a discrete commodity do not appear in recent state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity. The broader produce and food service opportunities do reference fresh fruits, vegetables, and dried or canned items, but tamarind—a tropical legume with limited use in U.S. institutional food service—does not surface in any of the representative recent bids.

The geographic spread of the activity tagged to this code spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri, with particular concentration in Georgia school systems and Texas criminal justice procurement. Key recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice bulk produce bids for carrots, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes (June 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026), and multiple Georgia school nutrition programs procuring fresh produce on annual contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state institutional buyers. If pursuing work under this code, verify the actual commodity specifications in the full solicitation document before bid preparation, as the code classification does not reliably predict scope.
