UNSPSC 50421816: Dried china yellow beans

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

UNSPSC 50421816 Dried china yellow beans (Commodity) covers dried legume procurement for institutional food service, primarily by state correctional and educational foodservice operations that source bulk dried beans for meal preparation. State and local governments procure dried beans — including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and institutional cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city-level nutrition programs, and state educational procurement divisions. Solicitations emphasize USDA-grade compliance, triple-cleaning specifications, bulk packaging suitable for institutional cooking, and inclusive all-in delivery pricing without separate freight or tariff reimbursement.

Georgia Correctional Industries posted IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027 on October 2, 2026, requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments with a due date of October 9, 2026.
