UNSPSC 50421814: Dried cannellini beans

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

UNSPSC 50421814 Dried cannellini beans, a Commodity-level code, represents institutional bulk procurement of dried legumes for state and local meal programs, correctional facilities, and educational institutions. State and local governments buy dried beans—cannellini, kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties—as primary protein and staple ingredients for cafeteria service, correctional facility feeding, and federally subsidized child and adult care food programs. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state procurement offices, municipal and county child care agencies, and state educational or institutional purchasing divisions. The work involves specification-driven procurement of bulk quantities, often with palletization and FOB destination delivery requirements, compliance with USDA grading and food-safety standards including HACCP and Good Manufacturing Practice certification, and strict adherence to detailed specification sheets without shorthand compliance language.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 due date, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered there; the Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing and strictly formatted specification responses. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals under RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily, with food items including dried beans as part of five supply categories; a local-vendor preference applied within 5% of the lowest bid. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued a large cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF) spanning multiple line items including legume staples, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026. Geographic clustering in the Pacific Northwest and Texas reflects active institutional food-service demand.
