UNSPSC 50421833: Dried kidney beans

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

UNSPSC 50421833 Dried kidney beans, a Commodity code, comprises packaged dried legumes sold in bulk to state and local institutional food service operations—primarily school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement of dried beans in the 40,000- to 127,500-pound range, triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better standards, with firm fixed pricing on a per-pound basis and FOB Destination delivery to central warehouses or distribution centers. State and local buyers under this code include departments of corrections, school nutrition services across multiple districts, and child care food program operators. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two recent ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (March 2026 and June 2026), representing the most active repeat buyer in the opportunity set; school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia are also active, though they typically procure dried beans as part of broader grocery or master grocery contracts rather than as standalone line items. The code shows concentrated activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent solicitations.

Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans with a March 20, 2026 deadline, the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program food products (including beans as a component) with an August 4, 2026 response date, and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline. A Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local-vendor preference applied to the Edinburg procurement, and Oregon procurement law applies a combined 10 percent evaluation preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Historical reference pricing from August 2025 awards ranges from $0.43 to $0.493 per pound. Most buyers require certificates of compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards, nutritional facts labels, proof of triple-cleaning and shelf-life certification, and palletized delivery on American Standard four-way wooden pallets with maximum 2,500-pound pallet weights.
