UNSPSC 50421824: Dried green beans

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

UNSPSC 50421824 Dried green beans, a Commodity code, covers legume staples that state and local governments procure for food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and institutional meal services. State and local buyers under this code source dried beans—including pinto, red, and green varieties—as foundational protein and carbohydrate components for cafeteria meal planning, correctional facility feeding, and child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, school districts of varying sizes, and municipal or county child nutrition services, with school districts representing the dominant buyer class across recent solicitations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs in March and June 2026 for approximately 127,500 and 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans respectively, with responses due March 20, 2026, and June 19, 2026; the March opportunity referenced an incumbent price of $0.43 per pound, and the June solicitation cited $0.493 per pound from Intersect USA. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning multiple categories including dried beans as component items, with response due May 4, 2026, after an extension via addendum. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323) for grocery supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, response due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items for 2026–27 (responses due April 29, 2026); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts across two areas (responses due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal program supplies including food products for 400 children (RFP 2026017, responses due August 4, 2026). No recent opportunities directly isolate dried green beans as a standalone procurement line; the code shows activity primarily as a component within broader food-service aggregations rather than as a standalone commodity bid.
