UNSPSC 50421852: Dried yard long beans

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

UNSPSC 50421852 Dried yard long beans is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not reflect dried yard long beans specifically. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting dried beans in broader categories — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — typically for institutional food service in correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agencies. The scope of work centers on bulk dried beans meeting USDA or U.S. No. 2 grading standards, triple-cleaned to remove foreign material and debris, suitable for high-volume institutional cooking and meal preparation. Beans are sourced as a staple protein component in cafeteria and food-service programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and food services, state purchasing offices coordinating multi-agency procurement, and municipal and county food-service operations supporting youth and correctional populations.

Recent procurement activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response deadline, with a 10% evaluation preference applied for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, requiring delivery in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing. The State of Oregon issued a separate RFQ for triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans within a broader CACFP meal-service RFP due August 4, 2026, targeting 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products including beans across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026 and contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. These solicitations emphasize strict compliance with food-safety standards, USDA regulations, and detailed specification sheets; FOB delivery requirements; and palletization or packaging standards for high-volume institutional use.
