UNSPSC 50431822: Dried organic french navy beans

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

UNSPSC 50431822 Dried organic french navy beans is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, specifically dried beans meeting organic certification and specified variety standards for institutional meal programs. State and local governments procure dried beans under this code primarily to support child nutrition, correctional facility feeding, and school district meal programs, though recent solicitations show that issuing bodies more commonly aggregate dried beans within broader grocery or food-supply RFPs rather than issuing single-commodity tenders. The scope of work is straightforward: supply of triple-cleaned, graded dried beans (typically U.S. No. 2 or better) meeting USDA and FDA standards, with delivery to institutional distribution centers or direct to school sites on standard wholesale terms including FOB destination, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with shelf-life and packaging specifications (usually palletized on four-way entry wooden pallets with maximum 2,500-pound pallet weights and one-year minimum shelf life remaining).

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional food service: state corrections departments, county and independent school districts, and municipal child-care programs dominate recent activity. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate dried-bean procurements in the past four months—S2910000016233 (127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans, due March 20, 2026) and S2910000017140 (42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026)—indicating repeat, predictable demand from that agency. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia have issued broader grocery and produce RFPs that include dried beans as line items or bundled categories, and the City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) similarly incorporate dried beans within larger food-service portfolios. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with Oregon showing the most specific dried-bean focus through direct ODOC tenders. The code sees limited standalone activity; pursuit is most viable through broader grocery or institutional food-service wins where dried beans represent one of many line items rather than through dedicated commodity buys.
