UNSPSC 50425303: Dried hausa/kersting's ground nut peanuts

The variety of peanuts known as hausa/kersting's ground nut peanuts that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425303 Dried hausa/kersting's ground nut peanuts, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual procurement activity posted under it. State and local governments are instead buying dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service in correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency cafeterias. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (ground nuts) and recent solicitations (legumes for bulk meal preparation) suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or used as a catch-all for dried legume sourcing. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and institutional food service operators. Procurement occurs through RFQs and IFBs; recent notices from Georgia Correctional Industries require electronic PDF submission with detailed specification compliance and prohibit compliance shortcuts, while the Texas Comptroller's cafeteria food products IFB establishes USDA grading standards and FOB destination delivery across multiple warehouse locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) seeks kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and no separate freight reimbursement. The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned and graded to U.S. No. 2 or better, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated, processed, or headquartered in Oregon and delivery to Salem within 45 days at $0.493 per pound historical pricing from incumbent Intersect USA. The City of Edinburg's CACFP meal-program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) included dried beans among five supply categories—beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items—to serve approximately 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference within 5% of the lowest bid and weighted evaluation on cost (30%), qualifications (25%), technical approach (25%), and menu quality (20%). Illinois and Oregon also posted additional dried-bean solicitations in June and August 2026. The Texas Comptroller's IFB for TDCJ cafeteria food products (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) encompassed approximately 382 line items across proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments with firm, all-inclusive fixed pricing, FOB delivery to six Texas distribution points, USDA grade requirements, and a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee.
