UNSPSC 50421801: Dried anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of beans known as anasazi or aztec beans that have been dried for preservation

UNSPSC 50421801 Dried anasazi or aztec beans, a Commodity code, covers legume procurement by state and local agencies, though recent solicitation activity shows little direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments buying under dried bean codes are primarily school districts, state departments of corrections, and county school systems procuring food supplies for child nutrition, inmate meal programs, and institutional food service. Recent opportunities in the broader dried-bean space feature state departments of corrections in Oregon, institutional food programs across multiple states, and school districts sourcing grocery items that may include dried legumes as commodity staples. The work spans fixed-price food procurement with delivery to central warehouses or distributed school sites, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and firm pricing locked for annual or multi-year contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (June 2026, bid deadline June 26, 2026, approximately 42,500 pounds per order at $0.493 per pound historical pricing) and dried pinto beans (March 2026, bid deadline March 20, 2026, approximately 127,500 pounds at $0.43 per pound prior award). Texas school districts and correctional institutions, including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, have solicited comprehensive grocery procurement covering dried legumes alongside broader food categories. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia have issued RFPs and ITBs for grocery and produce items with dried-goods components. No recent solicitations specifically target dried anasazi or aztec beans; activity under the code appears minimal compared to the broader dried-bean procurement universe dominated by pinto and commodity-grade legumes for institutional food service.
