UNSPSC 50411824: Organic green beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic green beans

UNSPSC 50411824 Organic green beans (Commodity) does not see regular recent procurement activity aligned to its code scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve fresh produce procurement broadly — apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, berries, and dozens of other conventional and specialty items for school nutrition programs — but green beans (organic or conventional) appear as single line items within much larger multi-category fresh produce solicitations, not as standalone procurements. The code's nominal specificity (organic green beans as a single commodity) does not match the bundled nature of how state and local jurisdictions actually source produce.

School districts and county education boards dominate the issuing bodies, with secondary procurement from state departments and independent school systems, all sourcing fresh produce for child nutrition and farm-to-school programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) seeking fresh produce under RFP 2026-048 (response due May 7, 2026); Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issuing an IFP for locally grown produce including green beans and 23 other items (due May 4, 2026); the State of Georgia issuing IFB #4 for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) seeking specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026); and the Douglas County School System and 29 partner districts procuring fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Vendors supplying under these opportunities must meet HACCP certification, Buy American requirements where applicable, food safety documentation, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on the issuing body), and delivery schedules to multiple school locations Monday through Friday during 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM windows. Pricing must be firm for contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30, with no separate fuel charges included and payment at Net 30 to Net 40 days. Business developers pursuing this code should note that green beans compete as individual line items within large institutional fresh-produce bundles, and winning requires capacity to supply multiple produce categories, maintain cold chain logistics to distributed school sites, and demonstrate multi-year public food service experience. The code shows activity concentrated among school nutrition programs and state food operations, but organic green beans specifically are not currently driving procurement decisions independently.
