UNSPSC 50421921: Dried regalia beets

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

UNSPSC 50421921 Dried regalia beets, a Commodity code, actually encompasses institutional bulk dried beans across multiple varieties — pinto, red, black, and kidney beans — purchased primarily by state correctional systems, educational institutions, and child nutrition programs for large-scale food service. State and local buyers under this code are prison systems, state departments of corrections, departments of agriculture, school districts participating in child and adult care food programs, and university food services. These are institutional procurement offices with recurring needs for compliance-grade dried legumes meeting USDA standards, moisture limits, and triple-cleaned specifications suitable for high-volume institutional cooking.

The recent opportunities span the Pacific Northwest and South, with the most visible activity in Oregon and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans in June 2026 (RFQ S2910000017705, due June 19), with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon issued a separate specification-driven RFQ for triple-cleaned dried black beans in August 2026 (RFQ S2910000017705, due August 21). Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery by October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027), and Georgia also posted a broader food supplies solicitation in May 2026 (RFQ PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22). The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans within a broader Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply RFP in August 2026 (RFP 2026-017, due August 4) serving 400 children daily with a 5% local-vendor preference, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited beans among 382 food line items across five warehouse regions (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, extended via addendum). Institutional buyers require FOB destination delivery, palletization standards, compliance certifications, and multi-year contract terms; pre-bid meetings and Q&A cycles are standard, and Oregon applies evaluation preferences for in-state fabrication and headquarters location.
