UNSPSC 50421814: Dried cannellini beans

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

UNSPSC 50421814 Dried cannellini beans is a Commodity code that captures dried bean procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity shows broader dried-bean solicitations that sometimes encompass pinto, red, and other varieties alongside or instead of cannellini specifically. State and local buyers use this code to procure dried beans for institutional food service — schools, corrections facilities, child care programs, and other public cafeteria operations that require bulk quantities meeting USDA grade standards and food safety certifications. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto and red beans twice in recent months, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures cafeteria food products including various protein and grain staples through its regional distribution network, and school districts including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County (Virginia), and others solicit comprehensive grocery contracts that encompass dried beans as line items within broader procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, school districts, and school nutrition cooperatives; no county or municipal governments appear in the recent opportunities, though the code's scope supports them.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West: Oregon (Department of Corrections, two pinto-bean solicitations in March and June 2026), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products, May 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI school district, April 2026), Georgia (Douglas County School System food supply RFP, January–February 2026; Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham produce contracts in March–April 2026), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery contract, April 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections' March 20, 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans and June 19, 2026 ITB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (both FOB destination Salem, Oregon, with triple-cleaning and U.S. No. 2 or better grade requirements) represent direct commodity-specific activity; the Texas Comptroller's May 4, 2026 IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations encompasses dried goods within a 382-line-item scope; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's April 29, 2026 NUTRIKIDS electronic bid for over 900 grocery line items through June 30, 2027 includes dried beans as a component of comprehensive school nutrition supply. Pricing in recent corrections procurements has referenced prior awards at $0.43 per pound (Oregon pinto beans, August 2025) and $0.493 per pound (Oregon pinto and red beans, August 2025), suggesting stable commodity pricing in the $0.43–$0.50 range per pound for bulk institutional quantities.
