UNSPSC 50431827: Dried organic haricot beans

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

UNSPSC 50431827 Dried organic haricot beans is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of dried beans—primarily kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans in bulk quantities—for institutional food service and meal programs operated by state agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and municipal child-care programs. State and local governments buy these products almost exclusively in large quantities for cafeteria operations, correctional-facility kitchens, and federally funded meal programs (CACFP, IVHQ) serving hundreds to thousands of meals daily. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of institutional users, municipal governments operating child-care and nutrition programs, and regional distribution hubs serving multiple facilities. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas represent repeat or substantial recent buyers under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% in-state preference (5% for Oregon fabrication and 5% for Oregon headquarters) and a historical price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance requirements; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested food and nonfood items including dried beans for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas law. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a broad IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including beans and legumes for multiple warehouse locations (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026). Specification compliance, triple-cleaned product grading to USDA standards or better, FOB destination delivery to central distribution centers, and palletized shipping on standardized wooden pallets are standard procurement requirements across recent solicitations.
