UNSPSC 50426831: Dried gobo

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

UNSPSC 50426831 Dried gobo (Commodity) covers dried legume products, including beans and related staple items, that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and educational meal operations. The scope of work encompasses bulk dried beans—including kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—sourced to specification for high-volume cooking and meal preparation. State and local buyers under this code include state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions managing multi-agency procurement, city governments operating meal programs, and state agencies supplying institutional kitchens. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers, each sourcing bulk dried legumes for prison food service; state purchasing offices in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas also issue consolidated procurement on behalf of multiple agencies or facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with an October 9, 2026 response date, specifying delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing with no separate freight or tariff reimbursement. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division issued IFB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned and U.S. No. 2 or better grade, with a June 19, 2026 bid deadline and FOB destination to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem; that procurement included a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-processed goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and recorded a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA in August 2025. The State of Oregon also posted IFB S2910000017140 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with an August 21, 2026 response date. Product quality requirements consistently mandate USDA-compliant grading, triple-cleaned specifications, and FDA and HACCP compliance; deliveries typically require palletization and FOB destination terms with no separate fuel or handling surcharges permitted in bid pricing.
