UNSPSC 50481911: Bolita bean purees

The variety of beans known as bolita beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481911 Bolita bean purees is a Commodity code representing a narrowly specialized food ingredient that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of broad food-service supply contracts for institutional foodservice rather than as a standalone line item. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for bolita bean purees alone; instead, the code appears incidentally, if at all, within larger competitive bids for school nutrition, corrections facilities, and health and human services operations. State and local issuing bodies—school districts, departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and facility-based nutrition programs—source food supplies through comprehensive RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across protein, grain, produce, and specialty-food categories. Bolita beans, when specified at all, arrive as one commodity among fresh and frozen proteins, canned goods, condiments, and prepared items, typically with allowances for brand-specific or equal substitutes to enable competitive pricing on the broader basket.

The geographic spread of recent food-service procurement activity spans Texas (HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Georgia (multiple school districts including Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County), Illinois (Veterans Homes), Virginia (Fairfax County Schools), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and others—a nationwide pattern driven by consistent institutional foodservice demand year-round. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due Jul 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due Jun 19, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract IFB 2000004323 (due Apr 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services (due Feb 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000). Because bolita bean purees do not appear as a standalone commodity in recent solicitation activity, vendors seeking contracts under this code should expect to compete as part of larger food-service platforms or specialty-foods subcategories within multi-item institutional nutrition bids rather than pursue bolita bean procurement opportunities in isolation.
