UNSPSC 50421836: Dried marrow beans

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

UNSPSC 50421836 Dried marrow beans, a Commodity code, encompasses procurement of dried beans in bulk for institutional food service — primarily kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties supplied to state and local correctional facilities, school meal programs, and other public-agency kitchens. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing beans by the pallet load, typically 40,000 to 880-bag increments, triple-cleaned to meet USDA No. 2 or better grading standards, with tight specifications on foreign-material content, moisture levels, and shelf life. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and state purchasing divisions, city-level food-service programs (school districts and community-based meal services like CACFP operations), and state agency warehouse operations. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia purchasing office, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat or recent buyers under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest, South, and Texas: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation advantage (5% for goods fabricated or processed in-state, 5% for in-state headquarters), historical pricing at $0.493 per pound, and FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, under RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet completion requirements; and the State of Oregon sought triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans as part of a broader CACFP meal-program RFP due August 4, 2026, serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 with required daily deliveries. Pricing is typically firm, all-inclusive with no separate freight or tariff reimbursement, and delivery windows range from next-day to 45 days depending on order size and storage capacity.
