UNSPSC 50407053: Soybeans

The type of vegetable known as soybeans

UNSPSC 50407053 Soybeans is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity captured in this dataset. The most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span fresh produce supply—primarily fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional institutions—but include carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables and eggs, not soybeans. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut soliciting fresh produce through sealed bids and RFPs, alongside a small number of state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), Head Start programs, and municipal departments. No recent opportunities in the dataset explicitly name soybeans as a procurement line item or scope element.

The geographic spread of fresh produce activity centers on Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Douglas County Schools, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools all solicited between March and May 2026) and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Northside Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Head Start of Greater Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce (bids due June 16, 2026, covering 40 line items including apples, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, and tomatoes with estimated usage quantities ranging from 25 to 1,200 units per item); the Bulloch County Schools' IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (proposals due May 4, 2026, covering 24 items including watermelons, strawberries, and sweet potatoes); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for carrots (1,200 tons, due March 17, 2026) and white potatoes for canning (due June 23, 2026). Soybean procurement does not appear in any of these recent solicitations, suggesting the code assignment may be a tagging error or that soybean procurement through state and local channels is not currently active in this sample.
