UNSPSC 50481933: Kidney bean purees

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

UNSPSC 50481933 Kidney bean purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity among the state and local opportunities tracked here. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect a broader pattern of state and local food service buying: school districts, state departments, and health agencies procure food products in volume through consolidated line-item bids that group dozens or hundreds of SKUs together, rather than sourcing individual commodities such as kidney bean purees as standalone line items. The code's nominal scope—a single prepared legume product—does not align with how jurisdictions actually structure their food procurement. When kidney bean purees do appear, they surface as one item among hundreds in master grocery, child nutrition, or food supply contracts, not as a procurement focus in themselves.

Issuing bodies soliciting food products under broad categories that would encompass kidney bean purees include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of Education), and county school systems across the Southeast and Southwest. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) at $1.5 million historical value for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and prepared foods across four school locations; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. These consolidated food service solicitations typically demand firm fixed pricing, compliance with Buy American or domestic agricultural content rules, HACCP and food safety certifications, liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range, and multi-year terms with renewal options. Vendors rarely pursue this code in isolation; participation requires enrollment in large cooperative or master-list arrangements where individual commodity codes nest within broader food supply frameworks.
