UNSPSC 50421843 Dried nuna beans (Commodity) covers institutional procurement of dried legumes, primarily dried beans in various varieties, for use in correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and state agency meal services. State and local buyers under this code purchase bulk dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—in quantities ranging from increments of 880 bags to tens of thousands of pounds, delivered for institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies, state departments of corrections, city nutrition programs serving child and adult populations, and state general purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple institutional customers. The code sees activity from purchasing divisions within state correctional systems and city social-service entities managing child nutrition compliance under federal CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) regulations.
