UNSPSC 50431801: Dried organic anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic anasazi or aztec beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431801 Dried organic anasazi or aztec beans, a Commodity code, covers legume supply to state and local agencies, though recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly solicit dried pinto and red beans rather than anasazi or aztec varieties. State and local procurement offices—primarily correctional departments, school districts, and child nutrition programs—use this code to acquire bulk dried beans for meal preparation, cafeteria operations, and food service programs. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, state departments of agriculture, and county and municipal school districts serving child nutrition programs. The scope encompasses triple-cleaned beans meeting USDA Grade standards, typically delivered palletized to central distribution centers or directly to school sites, with shelf-life requirements ranging from one to three years and compliance mandated with FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate solicitations for dried pinto beans in March and June 2026—the March ITB for 127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and the June ITB for 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026—with both applying a combined 10% Oregon preference (5% for fabrication/processing in Oregon plus 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days of purchase order, and pricing historically in the $0.43 to $0.493 per pound range. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans as part of a broader CACFP meal procurement (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) serving approximately 400 children daily across five supply categories with a Texas local-vendor preference of 5% for bids within 5% of the lowest responsive price. School districts in Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia have posted solicitations for grocery items and food supply that likely encompass dried beans as component line items within broader meal programs, though the specific commodity is not isolated in the recent posting summaries. Activity shows steady, if narrow, demand concentrated in institutional food service with moderate geographic spread across the Pacific Northwest and South.
