UNSPSC 50431806: Dried organic black beans

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

UNSPSC 50431806 Dried organic black beans is a Commodity code for legume procurement by state and local institutional buyers, though recent solicitations under this code diverge significantly from the "organic" and "black beans" specificity of the code name. State and local governments buying under this code procure dried beans in bulk for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and institutional dining operations, with purchasing patterns reflecting volume institutional cooking and meal preparation rather than specialty organic sourcing. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois have posted recent bids for kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—all dried, triple-cleaned, and graded to USDA standards suitable for mass food service. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state correctional departments, state procurement offices purchasing on behalf of institutional users, and municipalities managing child nutrition programs; the State of Oregon and State of Georgia appear as repeat buyers within the most recent six-month window.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, with bids due June 19, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time through OregonBuys, specifying triple-cleaned beans graded U.S. No. 2 or better, palletized delivery to Salem within 45 days, and a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical incumbent price was $0.493 per pound as of August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing, due October 9, 2026, with responses submitted electronically in PDF format. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 on August 11, 2026, for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies including dried beans alongside beverages, paper goods, and janitorial products for 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, by August 21, 2026, under specification document Beans Variety~6.docx, with delivery required to institutional users across the state.
