UNSPSC 50431800: Dried organic beans

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

UNSPSC 50431800 Dried organic beans, a Class code, covers institutional purchases of dried legumes for bulk food service, correctional facilities, child and adult nutrition programs, and state agency meal preparation. State and local governments procure dried beans in volume — typically pinto, kidney, red, and black varieties — with specifications requiring USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning, controlled moisture content, and compliance with FDA and HACCP standards. Issuing bodies span state correctional industries and departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city nutrition and food service programs (notably Child and Adult Care Food Program operators), and state institutional foodservice operations. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois have posted solicitations under this code in the past five months.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with delivery in increments of 880 bags on an all-inclusive pricing basis. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, specifying triple-cleaned product at U.S. No. 2 grade or better, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, palletized on four-way wooden pallets, and a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA; the solicitation applied a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The State of Oregon also posted a separate IFB for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, intended for institutional use by state agencies and educational institutions. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans as one component of a broader CACFP meal-supply RFP due August 4, 2026, serving approximately 400 children daily with daily deliveries required Monday through Friday before noon and a local-vendor preference within 5% of the lowest bid price under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051.
