UNSPSC 50481905: Black appaloosa bean purees

The variety of beans known as black appaloosa beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481905 Black appaloosa bean purees is a Commodity code for shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for institutional feeding operations. The code shows little direct recent activity — the nine opportunities posted between May and October 2026 represent general food procurement at state health and human services facilities, county and municipal food assistance programs, school nutrition systems, and state correctional and hospital operations, but only one opportunity explicitly names legume-based products (canned beans and peanut butter as line items within broader food bids), and none isolates black appaloosa bean purees as a standalone commodity. The issuing-body mix spans Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia and Georgia county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the Illinois Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These entities procure food through IFB, RFQ, and informal written quote formats, typically for annual or multi-year terms with delivery to institutional distribution centers, school cafeterias, or field facilities.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals, with historical values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million annually; the October 2026 Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables IFB (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) and the June 2026 El Paso facility solicitation (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) each reflect institutional food service scopes of 20–22 line items covering prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery windows. Georgia school districts procuring food under the Buy American Act have posted multiple sealed-bid food procurements with nearly 400 line items each, including Ben Hill County Schools (due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026); the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and sauces (due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes procurement of 7,616 cases with a 5% Oregon-resident bidder preference (due June 19, 2026). However, no recent opportunity explicitly targets black appaloosa bean purees as a primary or named commodity; the code may be applied administratively within larger food-service line-item structures where actual buying occurs at the broader family or commodity-group level.
