UNSPSC 50401851: Winged beans

The variety of beans known as winged beans

UNSPSC 50401851 Winged beans, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement for fresh produce supply to institutional food service operations—cafeterias, senior centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show government buyers sourcing fresh vegetables and fruits for on-site consumption and meal preparation. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and city school districts (Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District, Early County Schools, Bartow County Schools), county governments (Collier County), and special-purpose entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition, City of San Antonio senior services). Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are the most active repeat buyers in the recent-opportunity block, each posting multiple solicitations for produce and food service items between May and October 2026.

Geographic concentration is highest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple IFBs for fresh fruit and vegetables to regional food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine locations) with October 2026 response dates; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting consumables and canteen groceries for state-supported living centers (Lufkin and Mexia) via IFB with August and October 2026 due dates; Madison Metropolitan School District requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison under RFB 4163 with a July 29, 2026 deadline; and Bartow County Schools and Dougherty County Schools in Georgia each issuing sealed-bid RFPs for fresh produce with May and June 2026 deadlines. Delivery terms typically specify FOB Destination or prepaid freight, bi-weekly or weekly supply, quality standards including USDA grades, and compliance with food-safety regulations and prevailing wage where applicable. Most contracts run one to three years with optional renewals, and evaluation commonly weights cost alongside compliance, local sourcing preferences, and vendor performance history.
