UNSPSC 50401852: Yard long beans

The variety of beans known as yard long beans

UNSPSC 50401852 Yard long beans is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy. State and local government procurement activity under this code does not meaningfully reflect the specific commodity name. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for yard long beans or any legume variety. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad fresh produce procurement — including apples, bananas, carrots, onions, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and mixed seasonal produce — along with frozen and prepared food items for institutional food service. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all produce category rather than a specific vegetable line item, rendering the commodity-level tag imprecise for business development targeting.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois across state agencies, school districts, and specialized institutional buyers. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issues frequent fresh produce solicitations (IFB IW267376 for Palestine, IFB IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IFB IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all in September–October 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures consumables and food service groceries for state supported living centers (HHS0018082 for Lufkin, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017799 for Mexia, due August 25, 2026). Georgia school districts including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County Schools issue sealed bids for fresh produce spanning July through June school-year contracts. Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health procure fresh produce for institutional facilities (Illinois DOC IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for Joliet Treatment Center, due September 3, 2026; Illinois DMH IFB 27444DHSMENTHB53608 for Madden Mental Health Center, due August 14, 2026). Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requested fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under a USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026). All opportunities emphasize F.O.B. Destination pricing, compliance with USDA or facility-specific quality standards, firm pricing for stated periods, and delivery to individual school or institutional sites. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer — Texas applies HUB subcontracting plans, Georgia school districts enforce local-sourcing preferences (400-mile radius), Wisconsin applies small-business and diverse-owned-business preferences, and Illinois applies prevailing wage and small-purchase certifications.
