UNSPSC 50421826: Dried guar gum beans

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

UNSPSC 50421826 Dried guar gum beans (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single clearly relevant recent solicitation is the Oregon Department of Corrections Invitation to Bid S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, posted June 5, 2026 with bids due June 19, 2026; however, this procurement targets dried legumes broadly (pinto and red beans specifically), not guar gum. The remaining opportunities in the dataset — including school district grocery and produce solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System; CACFP meal program support from the City of Edinburg, Texas; cafeteria food procurement from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; and a weekly food order from the State of Illinois — focus on commodity food items, fresh produce, and protein supplies but do not reference guar gum specifically. The code's narrow commodity focus on dried guar gum beans does not align with the broader dried legume and general food procurement activity currently visible in state and local markets.

The sourced opportunities reveal active procurement for dried pinto and red beans by correctional and school-based buyers in Oregon and across the South, but no solicitations explicitly requesting dried guar gum beans or guar gum products as a standalone line item. State and local food service buyers—school districts, correctional departments, and nutrition programs—purchase dried beans as commodity staples, yet guar gum specifically (used as a thickening or gelling agent in processed foods) does not appear as a line item in recent IFBs, RFPs, or RFQs. The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement is the closest match and establishes that state buyers do source dried legumes through competitive bid, but the actual guar gum commodity code shows no recent activity in the state and local market segment.
