UNSPSC 50421813: Dried calypso beans

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

UNSPSC 50421813 Dried calypso beans is a Commodity code covering institutional bulk dried-bean purchases, though recent state and local opportunities show solicitation activity concentrated in related dried-bean varieties rather than calypso beans specifically. State and local procurement under this code targets food-service operations at correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state educational institutions. The work involves specification-driven sourcing of USDA-graded, triple-cleaned dried legumes suitable for large-scale institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments and divisions, state purchasing offices, and city government food-service programs. Specifications consistently emphasize foreign-material removal, moisture-content limits, defect tolerances, and compliance with FDA and HACCP standards.

Recent solicitations span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers, FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days, and a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent contractor Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026), for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, incorporated dried beans as part of a CACFP meal program RFP serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and daily Monday-Friday deliveries required before noon.
