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, a Commodity code, appears sparingly in recent state and local procurement. The single recent solicitation explicitly naming dried fava beans does not materialize in the provided opportunities block; instead, state and local governments are procuring dried beans more broadly — dried pinto beans, dried pinto and red beans mixed, and generic "beans" within larger food-supply contracts — with fava beans mentioned nowhere in the ten most recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections and other corrections agencies and school districts are the primary buyers of dried legumes at scale, but they are sourcing pinto and red varieties rather than organic fava beans specifically. The geographic activity in dried-bean procurement concentrates in Oregon and Texas, with correction and education-sector buyers driving volume.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement signals limited current demand for dried organic fava beans in state and local contracting. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate solicitations for dried pinto and dried pinto-and-red beans (S2910000016233 on March 6, 2026, due March 20, 2026, for 127,500 pounds; and S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, for 42,500 pounds) at $0.43 to $0.493 per pound, but neither mentions fava beans. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, by contrast, procures dozens of commodity food items under its cafeteria-food-products IFB (304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) without explicitly listing beans as a line item. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia are actively sourcing fresh produce and generalized grocery items, but organic dried fava beans do not appear in any posted opportunity. The code shows no meaningful activity in the past six months.
