UNSPSC 50431807: Dried organic black gram beans

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

UNSPSC 50431807 Dried organic black gram beans is a Commodity code covering legume procurement for institutional and correctional food service. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy dried beans—black beans, pinto beans, red beans, kidney beans, and related varieties—for bulk institutional cooking, meal preparation in correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and child-care programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and agriculture, state purchasing offices, city procurement bureaus coordinating food programs, and school or district food-service entities. The code sees activity from correctional industries purchasing for inmate meal service, state educational or social-service agencies buying for institutional kitchens, and municipal governments supporting nutrition programs.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 or better grade) due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-based vendor preference applied to evaluation; historical pricing was $0.493 per pound from the prior year.
