UNSPSC 50423301: Dried land cress

The variety of cresses known as land cress that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423301 Dried land cress is a Commodity code that captures institutional bulk purchases of dried legumes and related staple food items for state and local correctional facilities, education programs, and food-service operations. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows state and local buyers procuring dried beans—black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and kidney beans—in volumes ranging from thousands of bags to tens of thousands of pounds for institutional meal preparation, rather than land cress specifically. State correctional departments and departments of corrections dominate the issuing-body mix, with supporting activity from state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of multiple agencies, city food-assistance programs, and statewide procurement divisions coordinating multi-location warehouse supply chains. The scope of work spans ingredient procurement for correctional institutional kitchens, child and adult care food programs, and state agency meal operations, with suppliers expected to meet USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), delivery logistics including palletization and FOB destination terms, and often bulk quantity commitments over monthly or quarterly periods.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation provision and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon also solicited triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017140, due August 21, 2026) for state institutional use. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items including proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, and vegetables for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 11, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Comptroller's office on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans across five geographic warehouse locations (304T26300CF, IFB, due May 4, 2026 as extended), and Illinois issued a quarterly weekly food-order solicitation (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Delivery requirements are standard across jurisdictions: daily or scheduled deliveries before noon for school and care programs, FOB destination to state distribution centers, and pricing inclusive of freight, fuel surcharges, and handling with no separate line-item reimbursement.
