UNSPSC 50421918: Dried monaco beets

The variety of beets known as monaco beets that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421918 Dried monaco beets, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope names a specific dried vegetable product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it solicit kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad food-supply categories for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and institutional kitchens — none of which match dried monaco beets. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that dried monaco beets remain a low-volume or non-active procurement line within the jurisdictions tracked.

The few opportunities that do appear cluster around institutional food procurement for corrections, schools, and state agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans (880 bags, due October 9, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-origin preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (due August 4, 2026) spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial items, and nonfood products to serve 400 children with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) with FOB Destination delivery to six distribution points and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections as repeat buyers. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost heavily (30 percent in the Edinburg RFP), and Oregon's procurement includes a combined 10 percent preference for goods fabricated and processed in-state plus Oregon headquarters. Most institutional buyers require triple-cleaned beans meeting USDA or U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, palletized delivery on standard four-way wooden pallets, and FOB Destination pricing with all freight and fuel surcharges included.
