UNSPSC 50421840: Dried moth beans

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

UNSPSC 50421840 Dried moth beans (Commodity) covers institutional and correctional bulk procurement of dried legumes, including beans and related legume products sourced for food service and meal preparation in state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans—for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing and procurement offices, cities and municipal food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state institutional food supply networks. Procurement typically requires triple-cleaned or U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans meeting USDA, FDA, and HACCP standards, with bulk quantities ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of pounds, delivery in palletized form, and compliance with institutional food-service specifications and nutrition program regulations (CACFP, TDA standards).
