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 tracking state and local procurement of legume staples for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities show dried beans appearing within broader food-supply solicitations across school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs, where they are purchased as bulk ingredients for meal preparation rather than as standalone specialty items. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 on July 16, 2026, for CACFP Meal Program food and nonfood items due August 4, 2026, encompassing proteins and staple foods for approximately 400 children daily; the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued ITB S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026, for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, delivered FOB destination to Salem with U.S. No. 2 or better grade requirements and a historical price of $0.493 per pound. School districts represent the most active issuing bodies in this space, including Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), which procure grocery items and fresh produce for daily meal service; corrections and child nutrition agencies also solicit regularly for dried-bean products to meet protein and nutrition standards.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with Oregon's Department of Corrections appearing twice in recent procurement (March and June 2026) for pinto bean quantities. School district solicitations span multiple states and often operate on a July-to-June fiscal year, with firm-fixed-price contracts and weekly or daily delivery requirements. The code shows steady low-to-moderate activity driven by institutional meal programs rather than retail or food-manufacturing use; volumes are measured in cases or bulk pounds rather than consumer packages, and pricing is indexed to USDA commodity reporting or prior-year competitive baselines. Bid cycles concentrate in March through June for contracts effective July 1, and responses typically require product certifications, USDA grade documentation, and proof of food-safety compliance (HACCP, FDA, current Good Manufacturing Practice). No specific set-asides for disadvantaged vendors appear across the recent opportunities, though cooperative purchasing agreements (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia) may expand award scope across multiple districts.
