UNSPSC 50421846: Dried runner beans

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

UNSPSC 50421846 Dried runner beans is a Commodity code covering bulk dried legumes for institutional food service and meal programs. State and local governments procure dried beans—including kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties—primarily for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and state agency institutional kitchens. Procurement typically specifies USDA grading standards, moisture content, triple-cleaning or equivalent food-safety treatment, and bulk-quantity thresholds measured in pounds or bags. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments and purchasing offices, city and county nutrition programs, state departments of agriculture, and institutional food distributors serving multiple locations. Delivery terms commonly require palletization, FOB destination to central distribution facilities, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards; pricing is all-inclusive with no separate freight reimbursement.
