UNSPSC 50424701: Dried amarilla malanga

The variety of malanga known as amarilla malanga that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424701 Dried amarilla malanga is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure for institutional food service and meal programs, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied to dried beans more broadly—including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—rather than to amarilla malanga specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span corrections departments, state food-service procurement offices, city child and adult care food programs, and state educational institutions. The work involves sourcing bulk dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and triple-cleaned product specifications suitable for institutional cooking and meal preparation. Deliveries are typically FOB destination to state or local distribution centers, with pricing on an all-inclusive basis incorporating transportation, fuel surcharges, and handling fees.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries posted an RFQ on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with response due October 9, 2026, delivery included in bid pricing. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bid due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. The State of Oregon also posted a separate IFB for triple-cleaned dried black beans (due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans as part of a broader CACFP meal-program RFP (due August 4, 2026) serving approximately 400 children daily with Monday-through-Friday delivery before noon and local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items and warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with response extended to May 4, 2026, and optional renewal periods through August 31, 2029.
