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, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialty dried legumes for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is rarely cited directly for dried-bean purchases—instead, beans appear as line items within larger food and grocery supply contracts serving corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and child care facilities. When beans are explicitly procured, they serve high-volume, price-sensitive institutional kitchens that require bulk quantities, compliance with federal grade standards, and predictable delivery schedules. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this commodity span state corrections and agriculture departments, county and city school districts, and municipal child care programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections has emerged as the most active buyer under or near this code, issuing two separate invitations to bid (March 2026 and June 2026) for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds across multiple quarterly or annual tranches, with bid-due dates of March 20, 2026, and June 19, 2026, respectively.

Recent activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and South, with the Oregon Department of Corrections dominating visible procurement in the region. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 with extension via addendum to May 4, 2026) encompassing dried-bean-adjacent staples across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri sought grocery items including legumes (bid due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested CACFP meal program supplies (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) for approximately 400 children daily. The State of Illinois and State of Georgia posted food-supply solicitations in June and May 2026 respectively, though neither disclosed detailed scope or line-item specificity in available documents. Dried beans as a standalone procurement remain episodic and low-visibility within state and local food service; opportunities emerge sporadically as ingredients within larger master grocery, cafeteria food, or produce contracts rather than as dedicated line items, limiting immediate pursuit momentum for vendors focused exclusively on this commodity.
