UNSPSC 50411802: Organic appaloosa beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic appaloosa beans

UNSPSC 50411802 Organic appaloosa beans is a Commodity code encompassing dried bean products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code tagged to a mix of food-service procurement activities, though the specificity of appaloosa beans as a line item appears minimal in actual postings. The range of issuing bodies includes county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state purchasing offices, and health care coalitions. Collier County Board of County Commissioners recently solicited food-service vendors via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities (due March 6, 2025), Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for food products supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools (due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia issued a general food and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). The Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce vendors for the 2026-2027 period (due August 21, 2026). These solicitations reflect demand from institutional kitchens for diverse food items, including legumes, delivered under firm pricing and quality compliance requirements.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent postings from Georgia, Florida (Collier County and Marion County), and emerging activity in school districts across the Southeast. The Early County Board of Education solicitation, the largest by scope, emphasized domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. Pricing structures typically require vendors to absorb packing and transportation costs with firm pricing locked for 15 days post-award and escalation considered thereafter on six-month intervals supported by USDA data. General liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million per occurrence), E-Verify compliance, food recall procedures, and HACCP documentation are standard vendor requirements. The code shows modest recent activity specifically tagged to appaloosa beans; more broadly, state and local solicitations under this commodity tier demand commoditized food items from institutional food-service procurement vehicles where volume and compliance rather than product novelty drive award decisions.
