UNSPSC 50411806: Organic black beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic black beans

UNSPSC 50411806 Organic black beans is a Commodity code that names a single legume product, yet recent state and local procurement activity does not solicit organic black beans specifically. Instead, the code's recent opportunities focus on institutional food service procurement for school districts, purchasing fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and staple groceries at scale to support child nutrition programs and school meal services. School districts and county education boards are the primary issuing bodies, conducting competitive solicitations (RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, ITBs) for annual supply contracts covering dozens to hundreds of line items across fruit, vegetable, grain, and protein categories. The scope includes fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, citrus), dairy (milk, butter, yogurt), proteins (eggs, meats, poultry), grains and prepared entrees, and condiments—with many districts emphasizing USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, and whole-grain or low-sodium formulations. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options spanning two to four additional one-year terms, and award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or, in some cases, to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.

School districts in Georgia and Texas represent the most recent soliciting bodies, with additional activity in Missouri and Florida. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFQ for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issued RFP 26039RFPDST for the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026; and Bulloch County School District (Statesboro, Georgia) issued an IFP for locally grown produce due May 4, 2026. The State of Georgia itself issued IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce due May 27, 2026, and a general food supplies RFQ due June 22, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity but no solicitations specifically matching organic black beans; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor school nutrition RFPs and IFBs in the school-district and state-agency space for line-item inclusion within broader produce or grocery baskets.
