UNSPSC 50421856 Mixed beans (Commodity) covers dried bean products — kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and other legumes — procured in bulk by state correctional facilities, school districts, institutional food programs, and state purchasing cooperatives for meal preparation and institutional food service. State and local buyers source these products in increments ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, with specifications typically calling for triple-cleaned, USDA-graded beans meeting food-safety and moisture-content standards suitable for large-scale cooking. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies, state institutional purchasing divisions, municipal school and child-care food programs, and state departments managing procurement for education and detention facilities. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia are active recent buyers under this code.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Midwest. Recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation adjustment and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA), and the State of Oregon's separate bid for triple-cleaned black beans (due August 21, 2026). The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders under an FY-27 IVHQ quarterly buy (due June 26, 2026), which may include bean products as part of broader institutional food supply. Georgia also posted a general food-supplies-and-kitchen-products bid (due June 22, 2026) encompassing mixed commodity categories that likely included dried beans. All recent solicitations require delivery in bulk, compliance with FDA and USDA food-safety standards, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.
