UNSPSC 50426839: Dried long beans

The type of vegetable known as long beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426839 Dried long beans, a Commodity code, covers procurement of dried legumes for institutional food service and correctional-facility feeding programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase dried beans in bulk volumes — typically hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds — for meal preparation in correctional facilities, schools, child-care programs, and state agencies. Beans are specified to institutional grade (USDA No. 2 or better, triple-cleaned), packaged for bulk cooking, and delivered on palletized, standardized skids with firm all-inclusive pricing that encompasses freight, fuel surcharges, and delivery. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices, city and county food-service operations, and regional institutional buyers. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as active repeat purchasers; Georgia's state purchasing office and the City of Edinburg, Texas also solicit under or adjacent to this code.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026), with a combined 10% state-of-origin preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA; delivery required FOB destination within 45 days to Salem, Oregon.
