UNSPSC 50421829: Dried italian type beans

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

UNSPSC 50421829 Dried italian type beans, a Commodity code, covers dried legume procurement for institutional food service, particularly beans delivered in bulk for correctional facilities, public schools, and state agencies. State and local governments buying under this code source kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans in large quantities—typically hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds—for inmate meals, child and adult care programs, and general institutional cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state education and nutrition agencies, city and county food-service programs, and special-purpose state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Specifications consistently demand USDA-graded beans (typically U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaning to remove foreign material and debris, moisture-content limits, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards. Delivery is priced all-inclusive with no separate freight reimbursement; palletization on standard four-way entry wooden pallets and FOB destination terms are standard. Bidders must complete detailed specification sheets without compliance shortcuts and often face communication restrictions with issuing staff outside the named procurement officer.
