UNSPSC 50431802: Dried organic appaloosa beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic appaloosa beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431802 Dried organic appaloosa beans, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code specifies organic appaloosa beans in particular, yet state and local solicitations under or near this taxonomy are procuring dried pinto beans, dried red beans, and general grocery staples for institutional food service—not organic appaloosa beans specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) and 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans combined (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade requirements and FOB destination delivery to Salem, Oregon. Neither solicitation referenced organic or appaloosa varieties. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products including grains and staples through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026), and several school districts—Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia—issued bids for master grocery and produce contracts spanning hundreds of line items from July 2026 through June 2027. None of these opportunities named appaloosa beans or organic certification as a procurement requirement.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional agencies across the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with the Oregon Department of Corrections as the only repeat buyer specifically purchasing dried beans. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and several Georgia school districts procured food items for child nutrition and meal programs under RFPs and IFBs with response dates between April and August 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), with secondary activity in Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ warehouse locations), Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County). The code itself shows minimal recent relevant activity; the few dried-bean opportunities in the dataset target commodity-grade pinto and red beans for institutional bulk supply, not specialty organic appaloosa beans, suggesting limited current market demand for the specific product this code names.
