UNSPSC 50421841: Dried mung beans

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

UNSPSC 50421841 Dried mung beans is a Commodity code that covers dried legumes procured for institutional food service and meal programs. State and local solicitations under this code target bulk dried beans — including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for correctional facilities, school food programs, child and adult care centers, and other state agencies operating institutional kitchens and cafeterias. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city and county governments, and independent school districts. Work centers on specification compliance (USDA grading standards, moisture content, triple-cleaning thresholds, defect limits), bulk delivery logistics with FOB destination or all-inclusive pricing, and FDA and HACCP compliance for food safety.

The code sees active recent procurement across Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon preference, FOB Salem, palletized deliveries, and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon independently requested dried black beans, triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, IFB, due August 21, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including beans and legumes across five Texas warehouse regions (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026).
