UNSPSC 50421828: Dried hyacinth beans

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

UNSPSC 50421828 Dried hyacinth beans (Commodity) encompasses dried legumes procured by state and local institutions for bulk food service, though the recent solicitations tagged under this code actually reflect a broader dried-bean category spanning kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans rather than hyacinth beans specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include state correctional systems, state education and food-service agencies, municipal and county nutrition programs serving children and adults, and institutional food-distribution operations. The work involves procurement of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans meeting institutional food-safety standards (FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice compliance) for delivery in bulk quantities to central distribution points, warehouses, or meal-service locations. Vendors must meet packaging specifications (often palletized with weight limits), deliver within defined timeframes, and price all-inclusive with transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery costs embedded in the bid; communication restrictions during the bid window and formal specification sheets completed without abbreviation shortcuts are standard requirements across these solicitations.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017705 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10 percent Oregon-fabrication and headquarter preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon posted a separate bid (S2910000017140) for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) that likely encompasses dried legumes. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans and legume proteins as part of a CACFP meal-program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders under FY-27 IVHQ (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) covering the July-September quarter with brand-specific or approved equivalents. Activity is steady across institutional food-service procurement cycles, with awards typically made on lowest responsive, responsible bidder basis and contract terms extending 12 to 24 months with optional renewals.
