UNSPSC 50431804: Dried organic barlotti beans

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

UNSPSC 50431804 Dried organic barlotti beans is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the UNSPSC taxonomy. Recent state and local procurement activity shows that this code captures dried legume purchases across multiple buyer classes—school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs—where dried beans serve as a protein staple for bulk meal preparation. The City of Edinburg, Texas's CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) exemplify current activity: both solicitations specify triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, require palletized FOB Destination delivery, and demand minimum one-year shelf life. The code sees activity from state corrections departments, state food procurement divisions, and school districts; Oregon ODOC has issued multiple ITBs for dried beans in the review period (March and June 2026). Geographic concentration includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with Oregon ODOC a repeat buyer for institutional food service spanning correctional facilities.

Dried bean procurement under this code typically involves large-volume orders—Oregon ODOC's June ITB specified 42,500 pounds per delivery tranche across three shipments, while an earlier March ITB covered 127,500 pounds total—reflecting the commodity's role in high-volume institutional kitchens. Evaluation on this code emphasizes price competitiveness (often the sole award criterion), compliance with grade and cleaning specifications, and reliable delivery. Oregon applies 10 percent combined preference (5 percent for Oregon fabrication and processing plus 5 percent for Oregon headquarters) evaluated at the line-item level. The Illinois FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and Georgia's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, covering 30 school districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million in Area One) indicate that dried commodity purchases often occur as line items within broader food service contracts. Competition on dried bean solicitations is open to qualified respondents meeting insurance, debarment, and delivery-capability requirements; no set-asides limiting to disadvantaged enterprises appear in recent opportunities under this code.
