UNSPSC 50431808: Dried organic black shackamaxon beans

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

UNSPSC 50431808 Dried organic black shackamaxon beans is a Commodity code that represents a highly specialized legume product with minimal documented recent purchasing activity in the state and local procurement market. Of the thirteen recent opportunities identified in the source, only two directly reference dried bean procurement: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in March and June 2026, totaling approximately 170,000 pounds across multiple deliveries. The remaining eleven opportunities span fresh produce, general grocery items, cafeteria food products, and meal programs for school districts and correctional facilities, with no specific mention of organic black shackamaxon beans or comparable organic dried bean varieties. The code's abstract naming and the absence of recent solicitations explicitly requesting this particular bean type suggest minimal current demand or that state and local procurement offices are classifying similar items under broader commodity codes focused on dried beans, bulk legumes, or general food staples rather than this narrow, varietal-specific designation.

State and local buyers pursuing dried bean contracts appear concentrated in correctional and institutional food service—the Oregon Department of Corrections is a repeat buyer with two separate bean procurements within four months, both requiring triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans delivered FOB destination to Salem, Oregon, on palletized loads within 45 days of purchase order. The ODOC applied a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors. Beyond corrections, school districts and child nutrition programs in Texas, Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia dominate state and local procurement under related food-supply codes, but none of the sampled school nutrition opportunities explicitly itemized dried beans or identified organic bean specifications. The absence of black shackamaxon bean solicitations in the source—contrasted with active demand for pinto, red, and commodity-grade dried beans—indicates that either demand for this varietal does not trigger state and local procurement notices at scale, or purchasing offices are consolidating bean requirements under higher-tier commodity codes. Firms targeting this code should focus on correctional food service departments and institutional bulk-purchase programs in the Pacific Northwest, where the ODOC procurements provide the clearest recent signal.
