UNSPSC 50405501: Bambarra groundnut peanuts

The variety of peanuts known as bambarra groundnut peanuts

UNSPSC 50405501 Bambarra groundnut peanuts is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local government buyers. The code nominally describes a specific legume variety, but the recent opportunities tagged under this classification actually solicit fresh produce procurement across multiple categories—fruits, vegetables, and eggs—rather than peanuts or legumes of any kind. A Georgia fresh produce RFP (PE55645NONST2026000000009), a Texas carrot solicitation (IW253079), and a Texas sweet potato procurement (IW253121) appear in the dataset, but none target bambarra groundnuts or peanuts as a product line, indicating either a tagging mismatch in the source data or minimal institutional demand for this commodity through formal state and local procurement channels.

School districts, state criminal justice systems, and regional school cooperatives dominate the recent fresh produce solicitations in the dataset—none of which specify peanuts or legumes. Major opportunities include produce contracts from Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables, 18 elementary schools participating in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce across 117 campuses), Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP for frozen foods and produce, $969,460 estimated value), and a Georgia cooperative purchasing vehicle serving 30 districts across two areas (RFP SN 26-004, $5.5 million estimated spending). Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple vegetable and produce IFBs (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes for canning) but no peanut solicitations. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with activity extending to Connecticut, Missouri, and South Carolina. The absence of peanut or legume procurement under this code suggests that state and local buyers either source such items through broader commodity categories, cooperative vehicles not captured in this dataset, or do not procure them in sufficient volume to generate competitive solicitations. Pursuit under this code is not advisable based on current market signals.
