UNSPSC 50411847: Organic string beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic string beans

UNSPSC 50411847 Organic string beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code buy fresh produce—specifically fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk for school nutrition programs, institutional foodservice operations, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show that organic string beans appear as line items within broader fresh produce contracts rather than as standalone procurements; the actual buying pattern centers on comprehensive fresh produce supply agreements spanning dozens of commodity items (apples, bananas, peppers, leafy greens, carrots, tomatoes, onions, and other staples) bundled with eggs and prepared produce options. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with state departments, county boards of education, and independent school districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida posting the majority of recent opportunities. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with weekly or twice-weekly delivery requirements, HACCP certification mandates, Buy American compliance, and firm pricing for initial contract periods followed by prospective price redetermination tied to USDA market reports or CPI indices. Evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive bidding on a line-item basis, with awards commonly split across multiple vendors by product category.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) procuring fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; the Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bid (May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) for the National School Lunch Program across three schools emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations; and Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 (April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026) seeking fresh produce compliant with USDA Child Nutrition standards for delivery to all campuses five days weekly.

McAllen Independent School District (Texas) solicited fresh produce for 20,000 students across 31 campuses under RFP 2026-1029 (March 6, 2026) with emphasis on domestic products and geographic preference for produce grown within 50 miles.
