UNSPSC 50431805: Dried organic black appaloosa beans

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

UNSPSC 50431805 Dried organic black appaloosa beans is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within food procurement, though state and local governments buying under this code are not extensively documented in recent activity. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to this code is the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (a closely related commodity), which specified U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaning, one-year minimum shelf life, and FOB Destination delivery to Salem with evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors. The source shows little measurable recent activity directly under the appaloosa beans commodity code itself; instead, state and local procurement in dried legumes and staple food products occurs primarily through broader family-level aggregations covering multiple dried bean varieties, fresh produce, proteins, and general grocery items managed by corrections departments, school districts, and food-service programs.

State and local buyers using dried beans—whether appaloosa, pinto, or other varieties—are predominantly correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for dried beans in March 2026 and again in June 2026), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System all solicited grocery and produce contracts in the March-April 2026 window), and child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas and Illinois state procurement). Oregon and Texas show the most recent dedicated activity in dried legumes and related staple foods, with Georgia school districts and Missouri school nutrition services also soliciting broadly across grocery categories. The code itself sees minimal standalone activity; procurement of dried beans typically rolls into larger master grocery contracts or food-supply RFPs where beans are one line item among hundreds. For vendors targeting this specific commodity, geographic concentration appears strongest in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Texas, with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest school-district markets. The market does not indicate standing set-asides or preferences specific to black appaloosa beans; Oregon's dried-bean solicitations applied 5 percent Oregon-processing and 5 percent Oregon-headquarters preferences applied at evaluation only.
