UNSPSC 50426828: Dried gailon

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

UNSPSC 50426828 Dried gailon, a Commodity code, covers bulk dried legumes and beans procured by state agencies and correctional facilities for institutional food service and meal programs. State and local governments buy these products primarily for correctional institutions, child nutrition programs, and state educational or social-service facilities where high-volume, shelf-stable protein sources support cafeteria operations and compliance with regulated meal standards. The work is straightforward commodity procurement — issuing offices solicit sealed bids or RFQs for fixed quantities of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans (pinto, black, kidney varieties) with detailed specifications governing moisture content, defect thresholds, and foreign-material removal. Issuing bodies are almost exclusively state departments (corrections, agriculture-linked procurement) and state-administered nutrition programs; counties and municipalities do not appear in recent records under this code.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors, with FOB destination to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments with bids due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing with delivery embedded in the bid. The State of Oregon also posted a separate RFQ for dried black beans (triple-cleaned, USDA-consistent grading) due August 21, 2026, for institutional use. Illinois and Texas procurement offices have solicited weekly or quarterly food orders that include dried legumes as line items within broader cafeteria-supply RFQs. Delivery terms are consistently FOB destination with 45-day or longer lead times, palletization requirements for large orders, and one-year minimum shelf life. No recent opportunities show local-vendor preferences or set-asides at the commodity level; Oregon's geographic preference applies evaluation credit only, not bid restrictions.
