UNSPSC 50425804 Dried haricot vert de mer is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried beans procured by state and local governments for institutional food service — including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans sourced for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency meal operations. State and local buyers under this code include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies, city governments supporting child and adult care food programs, and state educational institutions. Work solicited ranges from single-source awards for specific bean varieties to multi-item food procurement that includes dried beans as one component alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments — all subject to USDA grading standards, FDA food-safety compliance, triple-cleaning specifications, and delivery into institutional kitchens or distribution centers for bulk meal preparation.
