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, covers bulk dried legumes for institutional food service — particularly procurement by correctional facilities, school districts, child care programs, and state food-distribution networks. The recent opportunities under this code, however, show substantial variation: state and local governments are soliciting dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and generic dried-bean products for cafeteria and institutional meal programs, rather than specifically for organic green romano beans as the code nominally describes. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an IFB for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (response due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products including unspecified dried beans as part of a broader 382-line-item IFB for multiple warehouse locations (response extended to May 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply supporting approximately 400 children daily, and the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, and municipal school-nutrition programs, with a concentration in correctional and institutional food service.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent bids from Georgia (two opportunities), Oregon (two opportunities), Texas (two opportunities), and Illinois (one). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation for pinto and red beans included a 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or -processed goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors, and specified triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards with a one-year minimum shelf life and FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. The Georgia Correctional Industries kidney-bean IFB required all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight or tariff reimbursement and specified electronic bid submission in PDF format with full specification-sheet completion (no abbreviations or checkmarks permitted). The Texas TDCJ cafeteria-food IFB encompassed multiple distribution points across the state and required USDA grade certificates and compliance with FDA and USDA standards. These solicitations show that state and local governments purchase dried legumes principally for correctional-facility meals and institutional child care, with emphasis on bulk quantity, triple-cleaning standards, and compliance with federal food-safety and nutritional guidelines.
