UNSPSC 50421803: Dried azuki beans

The variety of beans known as azuki beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421803 Dried azuki beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried beans—azuki, kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and educational meal operations. Recent solicitations show demand for bulk quantities (ranging from increments of 880 bags to 42,500 pounds) delivered on tight schedules with stringent specifications: triple-cleaned product, USDA Grade A or Grade B standards, defined moisture content and foreign-material thresholds, FDA and HACCP compliance, and minimum shelf-life guarantees. Buyers enforce detailed specification sheets without accepting shorthand compliance language, require all-inclusive pricing with delivery and freight incorporated, and often demand brand-specific or approved-equivalent products. The code spans state correctional systems, state education departments, municipal child-care programs, and state institutional buyers.

Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas dominate recent activity. Geographic concentration leans toward Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with procurement occurring across institutional cafeterias, correctional kitchens, and child-care meal programs. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries issuing RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with delivery in 880-bag increments on an all-inclusive basis; Oregon Department of Corrections posting bid S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound; and the City of Edinburg, Texas issuing RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program food supplies (including dried beans among five supply categories) for approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and proposals due August 4, 2026.
