UNSPSC 50431815: Dried organic castor beans

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

UNSPSC 50431815 Dried organic castor beans (Commodity) is a narrow, specialized code for a single agricultural product line. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the commodity's nominal scope; the opportunities posted are for general food supply and grocery items serving school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs across multiple states, with only two solicitations addressing dried beans specifically and neither matching the organic-castor-bean specification of the code itself. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs in March and June 2026 for dried pinto and red beans—conventional commodity legumes—at quantities of 127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds respectively, with bids due March 20, 2026, and June 19, 2026. These correctional-system procurements apply Oregon fabrication and residency preferences (5 percent each) and require U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned beans with minimum one-year shelf life delivered FOB destination to Salem. The broader set of posted opportunities—including RFPs from the City of Edinburg (Texas), State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and multiple Georgia school districts—all solicit across-the-board grocery and food-supply categories with no focus on dried beans or legumes as primary line items.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional or child nutrition services, with limited repeat buyers under this specific code. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri among school districts, with state procurement in Oregon, Illinois, and Georgia representing correctional and institutional food-service demand. No recent solicitation has matched the dried organic castor bean specification; the two dried-bean ITBs from Oregon Corrections specify conventional pinto and red beans for institutional meal service, not organic castor beans for industrial or agricultural use. The code shows no meaningful pipeline of opportunities aligned with its actual commodity definition and consequently presents minimal pursuit value unless your firm is positioned as a general food-commodity supplier to state or local institutions, rather than as a specialized organic-castor-bean vendor.
