As Emil Jeřábek and James Hanson mentioned in comments, this is well-known in the literature of first-order arithmetic as the $\Sigma_1$ least number principle, $\mathsf{L}\Sigma_1$. Simpson doesn't mention it in his book (he doesn't really talk about $\Sigma_n$ bounding either, which is more well known).

Over $\mathsf{PA}^- + \mathsf{I}\Sigma_0$, Kirby and Paris [1] proved that $\mathsf{L}\Sigma_n$, $\mathsf{L}\Pi_n$, $\mathsf{I}\Sigma_n$, $\mathsf{I}\Pi_n$ are all equivalent.

Over $\mathsf{PA}^- + \mathsf{I}\Sigma_0 + \mathsf{exp}$, Slaman [2] proved (building on results of Kirby and Paris) that $\mathsf{L}\Delta_n$, $\mathsf{I}\Delta_n$, $\mathsf{B}\Sigma_n$, are all equivalent.

Both reversals hold over $\mathsf{RCA}_0$, since it proves $\mathsf{PA}^- + \mathsf{I}\Sigma_0 + \mathsf{exp}$. In particular, $\mathsf{L}\Sigma_1$ holds in $\mathsf{RCA}_0$ (as Emil Jeřábek mentioned).
