UNSPSC 50421817: Dried dragon tongue beans

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

UNSPSC 50421817 Dried dragon tongue beans (Commodity) shows minimal recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers dried dragon tongue beans specifically, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for that commodity; instead, it documents state and local purchases of kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and mixed institutional food products. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (Solicitation Number 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing, and the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division requested bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation Number S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference applied for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and for Oregon-headquartered bidders. Neither of these aligns with the code's stated commodity, signaling a tagging mismatch rather than active market demand for dried dragon tongue beans specifically under this UNSPSC classification.

State and local procurement for dried legumes occurs across state correctional agencies, food-service departments, and institutional buyers (including the State of Oregon, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and City of Edinburg for its Child and Adult Care Food Program), but the recent record does not demonstrate purchasing activity for the specific commodity named in the code. The only Georgia opportunity in the block targeting what might reasonably fall under legumes procurement is the kidney beans RFQ; Oregon and Texas opportunities focus on more common bean varieties. Firms pursuing contracts in the dried legumes space should monitor codes for kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans separately, and verify that procurement offices are consistently applying the dragon tongue beans code when that commodity is actually solicited, rather than relying on this code as a reliable signal for current market activity.
