UNSPSC 50431826: Dried organic guar gum beans

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

UNSPSC 50431826 Dried organic guar gum beans (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the source block are solicited under this code but involve grocery and food service procurement for schools, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs—none of which reference guar gum beans or guar-based ingredients as discrete line items or scope elements. The solicitations cover fresh produce, dried beans (pinto and red varieties), cafeteria proteins, dairy, grains, and general grocery supply for institutional meal service, but guar gum does not appear in the representative bids from the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans at $0.43 per pound in March 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (over 900 line items spanning snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, meats, and prepared entrees), Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12 covering 76 minimum items to 45 schools), or the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (approximately 382 cafeteria line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and beverages). The City of Edinburg, Texas, CACFP procurement (August 4, 2026, response deadline) and the State of Georgia fresh produce solicitations similarly show no guar gum specification.

Issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under this code span state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ, Georgia, Illinois), county school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), and other institutional nutrition programs (CACFP), with solicitations predominantly concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Geographic activity shows school nutrition and correctional-facility meal service dominating the recent opportunities, with response deadlines clustered in March through August 2026. The code does not reflect active procurement of guar gum as a specialized ingredient within the state and local institutional food supply market.
