UNSPSC 50431810: Dried organic bobby beans

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

UNSPSC 50431810 Dried organic bobby beans, a Commodity code, does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies organic bobby beans, yet recent opportunities tagged under it involve broad food procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs that source dried pinto and red beans, fresh produce, and general groceries — not organic bobby beans specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two solicitations for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026), both requiring U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned beans with one-year shelf life, FOB Destination to Salem, Oregon, at historical pricing around $0.43–$0.49 per pound. These represent the only dried-bean solicitations in the recent block and contain no reference to organic certification. The remaining opportunities span fresh produce, grocery staples, and comprehensive food-service contracts across school districts, state agencies, and child nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon — none of which match the specific commodity name of organic bobby beans.

Issuing bodies soliciting under related dried-bean and food categories include the Oregon Department of Corrections (state agency), Fairfax County Public Schools and Rockwood R-VI School District (school districts), and the City of Edinburg and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (state and municipal). Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, particularly Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. No recent opportunities explicitly name organic bobby beans as a procured item. The code shows minimal or misaligned recent activity, suggesting either a classification error in how opportunities are tagged or a genuinely low procurement demand for this specific commodity under the UNSPSC taxonomy in state and local markets.
