UNSPSC 50426853: Dried soybeans

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

UNSPSC 50426853 Dried soybeans, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The available opportunities span fresh produce, school nutrition meal service, institutional food supply distribution, and cafeteria items across multiple states, but none directly solicit dried soybeans or dried legumes comparable to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied to opportunities in broader food-category procurement, or the recent activity does not reflect typical buying patterns under this Commodity designation.

The sourced opportunities instead demonstrate active procurement across fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables, eggs), prepared meal components, general grocery staples, and food service distribution by school districts, state departments of corrections, child nutrition programs, and school nutrition services in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections did solicit dried pinto and red beans in June 2026 (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds at the Commodity code tier, representing one relevant recent match; a second ODOC solicitation for dried pinto beans in March 2026 (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026) for 127,500 pounds further supports institutional procurement of dried legumes. Given the sparse alignment between the code name and actual recent opportunities, firms pursuing work under UNSPSC 50426853 should expect primary activity from institutional food buyers—particularly state corrections departments and school nutrition programs—rather than broad market procurement, and should monitor ODOC and similarly large institutional buyers for sporadic but substantial dried-bean solicitations.
