UNSPSC 50431803: Dried organic azuki beans

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

UNSPSC 50431803 Dried organic azuki beans, a Commodity code, covers legume procurement for institutional food service, but recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance. The one opportunity specifically aligned with the code name—Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000016233, issued March 6, 2026, for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (not azuki) with a March 20, 2026 bid deadline—demonstrates that state corrections and school nutrition programs do source dried legumes in bulk, requiring triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans palletized to FOB destination warehouses with a minimum one-year shelf life. However, the broader set of recent opportunities posted under this code—including CACFP child care meal programs, K-12 school nutrition master grocery contracts, state cafeteria food and produce procurements, and large school district produce and egg buys—suggests the code may be tagged inconsistently or that azuki beans specifically do not drive procurement volume in state and local food service. The issuing bodies span corrections departments, state departments of agriculture and nutrition, multiple school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), and child care food program sponsors.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted at least two dried-bean solicitations (March 2026 for pinto, June 2026 for pinto and red beans combined, 42,500 pounds with June 19, 2026 response deadline), indicating repeat institutional demand for dried legumes as a shelf-stable protein source. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for master grocery K-12 spanning 45 schools and distribution kitchens with annual contract renewal rights; Rockwood R-VI School District solicited grocery items for 2026-27 with over 900 line items (March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas, through the Boys & Girls Club CACFP program, requested food and nonfood supplies for approximately 400 children daily (RFP2026017, July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026). No procurement specifically calling for dried azuki beans appears in the recent data; dried pinto and red beans dominate the legume activity, suggesting either code misclassification or minimal azuki-bean purchasing in state and local institutional food service.
