UNSPSC 50421853 Habes beans (Commodity) covers dried bean procurement for institutional feeding operations, including both specialty varieties like black and pinto beans and common staples like kidney beans. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy beans in bulk for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, school meal services, and other high-volume food service operations; procurement typically specifies USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned product free of foreign material, moisture-content limits, palletization requirements, and delivery schedules measured in hundreds or thousands of pounds. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments and purchasing divisions (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office), state agencies managing institutional food procurement (State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal governments operating community meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The code also encompasses nonfood items bundled into institutional meal contracts—paper goods, janitorial supplies, food storage materials, and serving equipment—when part of integrated meal-service solicitations.

Recent activity clusters in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) through June–October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10 percent state-of-origin evaluation preference and FOB destination delivery to Salem requiring palletization on four-way entry wooden pallets; Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and electronic PDF submission; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans, proteins, dairy, and grains across five geographic distribution points, with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, and contract term through August 31, 2027 with optional renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference, and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order (July–September) via the IVHQ vehicle. Incumbent pricing in the Oregon procurement was documented at $0.493 per pound as of August 2025, and most solicitations require full FDA/USDA/HACCP compliance and minimum one-year shelf life at delivery.
