UNSPSC 50426852: Dried sinquas

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

UNSPSC 50426852 Dried sinquas (Commodity) covers dried legume procurement for institutional food service, though the code's recent activity shows state and local governments buying dried beans of multiple varieties — pinto, red, black, and kidney — for correctional facilities, child care meal programs, and other state agency food operations. The work spans bulk commodity purchasing at scale, with bids typically requiring triple-cleaned product meeting USDA grading standards, compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements, delivery specifications (often FOB destination, palletized, within defined timeframes), and all-inclusive pricing incorporating freight and surcharges. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and food programs, state purchasing offices acquiring on behalf of multiple agencies or institutions, and cities procuring for child and adult care food programs. Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections are repeat buyers under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois based on the most recent solicitations. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans with an October 9, 2026 response date, specifying delivery in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and electronic bid submission in PDF format. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade, palletized, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans (IFB due August 21, 2026) for institutional use, and the City of Edinburg, Texas, incorporated dried beans into a broader CACFP meal-program RFP (due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051.
