UNSPSC 50431813: Dried organic calypso beans

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

UNSPSC 50431813 Dried organic calypso beans is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses state and local procurement of dried legumes — including dried beans of various varieties (kidney, black, pinto, red) — for institutional food service programs serving correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, educational institutions, and state agencies. The code covers bulk dried beans meeting USDA grading standards, moisture-content thresholds, and contamination limits, sourced for large-scale institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections through the Texas Comptroller), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon), and municipal governments operating food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent opportunities reflect recurring procurement by state corrections systems and institutional food-service operators serving high-volume meal programs.

Recent activity appears in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an RFQ in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due June 19, 2026, applying a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; historical pricing was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027) in October 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting requirements. The State of Oregon issued an IFB in August 2026 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, with USDA-consistent grading and food-safety compliance required. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) that included dried legumes as part of a five-category food supply procurement serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference of 5% under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Bid responsiveness standards are strict; Georgia Correctional Industries explicitly prohibits compliance shortcuts in specification responses and enforces all-inclusive delivery pricing.
