UNSPSC 50421839: Dried mortgage lifter beans

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

UNSPSC 50421839 Dried mortgage lifter beans is a Commodity code covering dried legume products purchased by state and local institutions for bulk food service, institutional cooking, and meal programs. The code's nominal name ("mortgage lifter beans") does not align with recent solicitation activity; state and local buyers are actually procuring dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency food services. These are institutional-scale purchases specified to USDA grading standards (typically Grade A or Grade B, triple-cleaned, with defined moisture content and foreign-material thresholds) for delivery in bulk quantities—880-bag increments, 42,500-pound orders, or weekly meal-service fulfillment. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, county and city procurement agencies, and food service programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and the Illinois Department of Human Services appear as repeat buyers, along with local municipalities supporting CACFP meal programs.

Activity spans at least three states with recent solicitation presence. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted bids for dried black beans (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) and dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds, S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time), with the latter offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ due October 9, 2026); Texas procured cafeteria food products including dried beans across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (IFB 304T26300CF, originally due April 21, 2026 but extended via addendum to May 4, 2026); Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, bids due June 26, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children (RFP 2026017, with a local-vendor preference allowing 5% price tolerance for City of Edinburg vendors and due August 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM). All-inclusive pricing covering freight, delivery, and handling is standard; delivery must be palletized and meet food-safety and shelf-life requirements.
