UNSPSC 50431816: Dried organic china yellow beans

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

UNSPSC 50431816 Dried organic china yellow beans (Commodity) covers what state and local governments purchase to meet institutional food service needs, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement of this specific commodity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader food service procurement patterns—school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal child care programs are actively sourcing dried bean varieties (pinto and red beans in particular), fresh produce, prepared entrees, dairy products, and kitchen supplies to support daily meal service for student populations, incarcerated individuals, and children in subsidized nutrition programs. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posting major food service solicitations in the past four months. State agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicit regularly for dried legumes and comprehensive food supply contracts. Municipal and quasi-governmental entities such as the City of Edinburg, Texas (for a Child and Adult Care Food Program) round out the buyer base.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts representing the most active buyer segment in the recent record. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate bids for dried pinto beans (127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026) at historical pricing around $0.43 to $0.493 per pound, indicating consistent state-level demand for bulk dried legumes. The City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal supplies (due August 4, 2026) encompasses food products, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies across five categories serving approximately 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) requires minimum bids on 76 items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum No. 2) spans approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and canned goods for six distribution points. Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) estimated $9 million annual spending across 32 schools; the same district's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) estimates $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 participating school districts. School nutrition procurement typically requires firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract terms, compliance with USDA and food safety standards, and delivery schedules that support meal service operations Monday through Friday before noon.
