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 is a Commodity code covering institutional dried bean procurement by state and local agencies, particularly correctional systems, education programs, and social-service food operations. State and local governments buy dried beans under this code for large-scale meal preparation serving institutional populations — primarily correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency food service operations. Recent solicitations show demand for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and other dried varieties in bulk quantities, typically specified to USDA grading standards (U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned, with moisture-content and foreign-material limits defined. Deliveries are palletized, FOB destination to institutional warehouses or distribution centers, with all-inclusive pricing covering freight, fuel surcharges, and handling. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state procurement offices acquiring for multiple agencies, municipal school and care programs, and state education or nutrition divisions. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and state purchasing offices in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas appear as repeat buyers in recent activity.

Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast and West, with the most recent and largest solicitations posted by Georgia (kidney beans for correctional industries, food supplies for state agencies), Oregon (dried black beans and pinto/red beans for corrections), Texas (cafeteria food products for TDCJ), and Illinois (weekly food orders). The Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, response due October 9, 2026) requested 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and strict specification compliance required. The Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017140, response due June 19, 2026) offered a 10% evaluation preference split between Oregon-fabricated goods (5%) and Oregon-headquartered bidders (5%), with the historical price at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. The City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (RFP 2026-017, response due August 4, 2026) included dried beans among five supply categories for 400 daily meal servings and applied a 5% local-vendor preference for Edinburg-based bidders within 5% of the lowest bid. The Texas Comptroller's IFB for TDCJ cafeteria food products (304T26300CF, response extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) encompassed 382 line items across multiple food categories for distribution to six TDCJ facilities statewide.
