UNSPSC 50451815: Frozen organic castor beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic castor beans that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451815 Frozen organic castor beans is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized agricultural input, yet the recent state and local opportunities in the source do not align with procurement of castor beans themselves. The opportunities posted between January and June 2026 consistently reference comprehensive food service contracts for school nutrition programs and state operations—including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, eggs, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, beverages, condiments, bread products, and supplies—but contain no solicitations for castor beans or castor-bean-derived products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity signals that this code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.

The recent opportunities instead cluster heavily around school nutrition contracts issued by Georgia school districts (Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and City Schools of Decatur), the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, and the State of Georgia itself. These agencies are soliciting RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and related food service supplies to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with bids due between late February and late June 2026. If pursuing activity under this code, verify with the issuing procurement office that castor beans or castor-derived commodities are genuinely part of the scope, as current evidence suggests the code assignment does not reflect the actual commodity families being bought.
