UNSPSC 50481917: Dragon tongue bean purees

The variety of beans known as dragon tongue beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481917 Dragon tongue bean purees is a Commodity code representing a narrow food ingredient category, but state and local procurement under this specific code shows little relevant recent activity. The source includes no recent opportunities soliciting dragon tongue bean purees; instead, the recent state and local records show wide-ranging food procurement activity spanning fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy products, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers across the country. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual solicitations tagged under it reflects common state and local coding inconsistencies—agencies frequently apply generic food or produce codes to broad-based competitive food bids rather than matching specific commodity codes to individual line items.

The recent opportunities show that state and local governments are actively buying food and consumable products through IFB, RFP, and ITB vehicles, particularly school districts and state health and human services agencies. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's purchase of supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and state supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period), the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid for fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and related items (IFB PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school districts and state agencies issuing the majority of solicitations. The code as presently tagged appears to serve a catch-all function rather than signaling genuine demand for a specialized ingredient—vendors pursuing food supply contracts should monitor broader food and produce codes and monitor individual school district and state agency RFPs directly rather than rely on this code alone.
