UNSPSC 50411827: Organic haricot beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic haricot beans

UNSPSC 50411827 Organic haricot beans is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply of dried legumes, particularly beans, to state and local institutions — principally school districts running child nutrition programs and state agencies sourcing food products for institutional operations. Recent solicitations show school districts procuring organic and conventional beans as line items within broader fresh produce, grocery, and food supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts of varying sizes, from small rural districts to large metropolitan systems, joined by state purchasing offices and cooperative buying vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative that aggregate demand across multiple districts. The work involves supply, warehousing, and delivery of packaged dried beans to designated school sites or central food service warehouses on fixed weekly or monthly schedules, with pricing tied to USDA commodity indices or net-cost-plus models and all delivery included in quoted pricing.

Recent solicitations span Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items including beans alongside produce and dairy; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement of over 900 grocery line items including beans and legumes (bids due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic filing); and Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items and butter beans (proposals due May 4, 2026). Beans and legumes appear consistently as commodity line items within institutional food service contracts but rarely as standalone procurements, indicating modest standalone demand for organic haricot beans specifically while confirming sustained bulk purchasing across school nutrition programs at both district and cooperative-purchasing scales.
