UNSPSC 50426825: Dried donqua

The type of vegetable known as donqua that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426825 Dried donqua, a Commodity code, covers staple dried legume procurement by state and local institutions—primarily school districts and correctional facilities acquiring beans and similar dried goods for food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating dried beans as a component within broader grocery and food-supply buys rather than as a standalone category; the code appears under institutional food procurement but does not drive independent commodity tenders in the way fresh produce or proteins do.

State and local institutions acquire dried beans—particularly pinto and red varieties—as part of regular meal-service restocking. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026 through OregonBuys), both triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 or better, FOB destination to Salem, with a 5% Oregon-fabrication preference and 5% Oregon-headquarter preference applied to evaluation. Pricing on the March procurement referenced a prior award to Farmer Bean at $0.43 per pound. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans within a broader CACFP meal-program RFP (due August 4, 2026) that bundles beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, and snacks into five supply categories; the scope serves 400 children daily across nine months. School districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Muscogee County (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia)—bid annual grocery contracts that nominally encompass dried goods, though recent RFPs weight fresh produce, proteins, and prepared items more heavily in solicitation activity and line-item count. The State of Illinois issued a quarterly food-order solicitation (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026) and Georgia posted a broad food-supplies IFB (due June 22, 2026) with limited scope detail available. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school-district activity spanning Virginia, Missouri, and the broader Southeast.
