UNSPSC 50411844: Organic pinto beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic pinto beans

UNSPSC 50411844 Organic pinto beans (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operations, including school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing entities. The work being solicited under this code includes supply of fresh vegetables and legumes to support institutional food-service operations — school lunch and breakfast programs, park concessions, healthcare facilities, and other public venues. Recent opportunities show food-service vendors competing to supply produce to multiple institutional buyers, with emphasis on USDA compliance, food-safety certification, delivery scheduling, and pricing that includes transportation to designated sites. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county commissioners' offices, state procurement divisions, and specialized healthcare coalitions, all managing food procurement through formal bidding or invitation-to-negotiate processes.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Georgia (state-level food procurement, Early County Board of Education), Florida (Collier County Parks and Recreation), and Ohio (Marion Health Care Coalition). Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025, for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park, requiring vendors to supply diverse food and beverage options with local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points) for permanent Collier or Lee County business addresses and employee residency. The State of Georgia posted a general food-supplies and kitchen-products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026, for the 2026–2027 contract period. Domestic sourcing, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, and food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, temperature maintenance for perishables, product recall procedures) are standard requirements across opportunities.
