UNSPSC 50481911: Bolita bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481911 Bolita bean purees, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable legume products purchased primarily by state institutions for food service operations. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing prepared or canned bean products, typically as line items within larger consumables or food-service contracts rather than as standalone solicitations. The issuing bodies are state departments of health and human services managing residential facilities, state correctional agencies, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. Scope across recent solicitations encompasses mixed dried goods, canned proteins, and prepared foods supplied to institutional kitchens serving resident populations; bolita beans appear as one among dozens of food commodity options rather than as a primary procurement driver.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million; and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026)—solicited food products encompassing hundreds of line items under Child Nutrition and Buy American Act requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted procurement for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at prior-award pricing of $13.75 per case). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items to TDCJ warehouse locations (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Bolita bean purees do not appear as named line items in the available summaries, indicating the code sees activity primarily through aggregated food-service contracts rather than targeted solicitations.
