UNSPSC 50431825: Dried organic green romano beans

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

UNSPSC 50431825 Dried organic green romano beans, a Commodity code, describes legume products that state and local governments procure as part of institutional food service operations—most commonly school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs serving prepared meals at scale. Recent solicitations show the code captures purchases of dried beans in bulk quantities for kitchen operations, though the recent opportunities block includes multiple dried bean varieties (pinto, red, green romano) and broader produce and grocery categories that appear tagged under this code despite spanning a wider scope than dried organic green romano beans specifically. The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county and city school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). School nutrition programs and correctional facilities dominate the recent activity, reflecting the high-volume, cost-sensitive procurement patterns of these institutional food services.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate dried bean solicitations within the past four months—one in March 2026 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026 at $0.43 per pound historical pricing) and another in June 2026 for 42,500 pounds of mixed dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation applied). The City of Edinburg, Texas solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026), with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026 after extension, with a mandatory pre-bid held March 26, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 under IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum three years of experience and firm fixed pricing for one year with optional renewal. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items for 2026-27 (due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding) covering over 900 line items with firm pricing for the full contract term. The State of Illinois issued a quarterly food order solicitation (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026) with brand-specific or equivalent items. The broader produce and fresh-food procurement activity across these jurisdictions indicates sustained demand for commodity-grade dried and fresh food products to support institution-wide meal operations.
