UNSPSC 50431819: Dried organic fava beans

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

UNSPSC 50431819 Dried organic fava beans is a Commodity code representing dried legumes purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service — cafeteria meal programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations. The recent solicitations posted under this code show a mismatch between its stated scope (organic fava beans) and actual buying patterns: Georgia Correctional Industries, the City of Edinburg in Texas, the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, and the Oregon Department of Corrections all solicited dried beans during 2026, but their requests span kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and generic quarterly food orders rather than fava beans specifically. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of custodial or educational institutions, municipal governments administering federal child care meal programs, and state education or nutrition programs. Procurement notice types are standard IFB and RFQ formats with response windows of 7 to 45 days.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted two separate dried-bean solicitations (June 5 and June 19, 2026) totaling approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned pinto and red beans at a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA, with FOB destination to Salem, Oregon and a 10% combined Oregon-made and Oregon-headquartered vendor preference applied for evaluation. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program on August 11, 2026 covering five supply categories including food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks) to serve 400 children daily with a local-vendor price preference of 5% within Edinburg city limits. The State of Oregon posted a separate solicitation for triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026 for institutional use. The State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026, and the State of Illinois solicited quarterly food orders for July–September 2026 due June 26, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume but little evidence of organic-specific fava-bean demand in recent state and local postings.
