UNSPSC 50426846: Dried moqua

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

UNSPSC 50426846 Dried moqua is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses dried bean procurement — kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans — for institutional food service and correctional facility meal programs. State and local governments buying under this code source bulk dried beans for cafeteria operations, prison kitchen supply, child and adult care food programs, and educational meal service, typically in quantities ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, with specifications emphasizing triple cleaning, USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance, and palletized delivery to institutional warehouses or distribution centers. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state departments of corrections purchasing divisions, city child-care and meal-program authorities, state procurement offices, and institutional food-service operators. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia purchasing office, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are repeat buyers under this code. Delivery terms consistently require FOB destination with freight and fuel charges included in pricing, no separate line-item reimbursement, and often mandate strict compliance with specification sheets without shorthand certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, response due October 9, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) are representative of the institutional scale and specification rigor typical under this code. The Oregon ODOC procurement applied a combined 10 percent evaluation preference (5 percent for in-state fabrication or processing, 5 percent for in-state headquarters), with the historical purchase price at $0.493 per pound; delivery must occur within 45 days of purchase order receipt to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem on palletized loads not exceeding 2,500 pounds per pallet. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicitation for CACFP meal-program food supply (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) included dried beans among five supply categories for 400 children daily and applied a Texas local-vendor preference for bidders within 5 percent of the lowest bid price. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products (304T-26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 line items including beans across six TDCJ distribution points, with awards made by line item to lowest responsive, responsible bidders and a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee applied to all purchases.
