UNSPSC 50431820: Dried organic flageolet beans

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

UNSPSC 50431820 Dried organic flageolet beans, a Commodity code, tracks state and local procurement of dried legume products for institutional food service — though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader scope of dried-bean procurement than the nominal flageolet specification suggests. State and local agencies soliciting under this code are primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and educational meal programs, along with state procurement offices managing bulk food supply for multiple facilities. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), the City of Edinburg, Illinois, and the State of Georgia have all posted solicitations in recent months. The work consists of supplying dried beans in bulk quantities — typically in 50- to 100-pound pallets or larger increments for kitchen preparation and meal service — with strict USDA grading, moisture-content, and foreign-material specifications; triple-cleaning and food-safety certification (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice compliance) are routine requirements. Delivery is nearly always FOB destination to state or facility warehouses or distribution centers, with all freight and fuel surcharges rolled into all-inclusive pricing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, an additional 5% for in-state headquarters), and a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA; the Georgia Correctional Industries IFB for kidney beans was due October 9, 2026, requesting delivery in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and no separate freight reimbursement; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an Invitation for Bid on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 food line items including dried beans and legumes across five geographic distribution areas, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21, 2026) and a mandatory pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026. The State of Oregon also posted a separate solicitation for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service due August 4, 2026 included dried beans among five supply categories (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items) serving approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 available to bidders within 5% of the lowest bid price.
