UNSPSC 50421857 White Beans is a Commodity code that covers dried legume products state and local governments procure as foodservice ingredients and meal-support items. Recent opportunities show white beans appearing within broader food solicitations rather than as standalone line items—the code's activity is embedded in school nutrition programs, state institutional foodservice (corrections, health and human services facilities), and occasional emergency or supplemental supply contracts where canned or dried beans appear alongside dozens of other staple food categories. State and local buyers under this code span school districts (elementary through high school), state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and psychiatric facilities, and county/municipal institutional foodservice operations. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (including Muscogee County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems), and Illinois state facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Illinois and Missouri school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), encompassing multiple NIGP food categories with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026), a related commodity procurement; and the Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for over 400 food items (due April 29, 2026), requiring compliance with Buy American provisions and nutritional standards. School nutrition procurements typically use IFB or RFP structures with firm fixed pricing, weekly or scheduled delivery, and one-year renewable contract terms; state agency procurements often include multiple line-item awards and multi-year renewal options with price adjustment provisions tied to USDA or CPI indices.
