UNSPSC 50421832: Dried kentucky wonder beans

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

UNSPSC 50421832 Dried Kentucky Wonder Beans (Commodity) captures dried legumes procured by state corrections facilities, school districts, and child nutrition programs across the United States. State and local governments buy dried beans under this code primarily as protein-staple items for institutional food service, sourced through competitive sealed bids and RFPs with strict nutritional, grading, and delivery specifications. Recent solicitations show procurement occurring at the state department level (corrections, education) and at school district level, with contracts spanning nine months to twelve months and serving inmate populations, students in K-12 and higher education settings, and child care facility attendees.

Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) represent the most active recent buyers under this code. ODOC issued two ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in March and June 2026 (S2910000016233 and S2910000017140), requesting 127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds respectively with FOB destination delivery to Salem and triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade compliance; awards went to lowest responsive bidders with reference pricing near $0.43–$0.493 per pound from prior incumbents Farmer Bean and Intersect USA. TDCJ (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five Texas warehouse regions, encompassing dried beans among approximately 382 line items; the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026, with awards made on best-value pricing for individual line items. Smaller school districts, including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and the City of Edinburg (Texas) for its CACFP child nutrition program, procure dried beans as part of broader grocery RFPs and ITBs with estimated annual spending in the millions and firm fixed-price contracts running July through June cycles. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with response deadlines clustered in March through August 2026.
