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, encompasses bulk dried legumes procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service—primarily correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state warehouse distribution to agencies and educational institutions. State and local buyers are purchasing dried beans in large quantities to support cafeteria operations, meal-service programs, and bulk institutional cooking. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies, and city governments running child care and food assistance programs. The work reflects demand for commodity-grade dried legumes with specifications tied to USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, and compliance with food-safety regulations (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice standards).

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF), extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items across multiple food categories including dried legumes for six distribution points across Texas. Delivery expectations are typically FOB destination on firm, all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement, palletized shipments where specified, and compliance documentation including certifications and manufacturer literature required at bid submission.
