UNSPSC 50426825: Dried donqua

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

UNSPSC 50426825 Dried donqua, a Commodity code, encompasses dried legumes and beans procured by state and local institutions for bulk food service and meal programs. State and local governments buy under this code dried beans in various forms — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — supplied to correctional institutions, child and adult care food programs, and other state agencies for institutional cooking and meal preparation. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state social service agencies, cities operating food programs, and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple end-use departments. Work solicited ranges from spot purchases of specific bean varieties with tight delivery windows to quarterly or annual standing orders for institutional food service.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans in June 2026 (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the historical incumbent price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with response due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance without compliance shortcuts such as checkmarks or ditto marks. The State of Oregon also requested bids for triple-cleaned dried black beans in August 2026 (due August 21, 2026) to USDA grading standards for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans as part of a broader CACFP meal program bid in August 2026 with local-vendor preference under Texas law and daily delivery requirements Monday through Friday before noon. Procurement activity under this code reflects consistent demand for commodity beans in institutional settings with attention to food-safety standards, delivery logistics, and regional vendor preferences.
