UNSPSC 50431829: Dried organic italian type beans

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

UNSPSC 50431829 Dried organic italian type beans is a Commodity code covering dried bean products in bulk for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on non-organic varieties (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) suitable for correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and state agency meal operations. State and local buyers—primarily state corrections departments, state procurement offices, and municipal food service programs—procure dried beans by the pallet or bulk increments (880-bag lots, 42,500-pound quantities) with strict specifications for cleaning grade, moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, and compliance with USDA and FDA food-safety standards. Pricing is all-inclusive, with vendors absorbing freight, fuel surcharges, and delivery to specified institutional distribution points; deliveries are typically required within 30 to 45 days of purchase order and must meet minimum shelf-life requirements. The recent opportunities show a mix of low-dollar routine institutional food buys (Georgia Correctional Industries' kidney-bean RFQ with a 7-day turnaround) and larger consolidated procurements spanning multiple warehouse locations and geographic areas (TDCJ's cafeteria food products IFB covering approximately 382 line items across five Texas warehouse regions).

The code shows recent activity in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with state corrections and food-service procurement offices as the dominant issuing bodies. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted two separate bean procurements in the past four months (42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, and dried black beans due August 21, 2026), indicating repeat buying patterns under this commodity family. Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) calls for incremental deliveries of 880 bags with firm, all-inclusive pricing; Oregon's ODOC procurement permits 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and 5 percent Oregon-headquarters evaluation preferences and names Intersect USA as the historical incumbent at $0.493 per pound (August 2025). The Texas Comptroller's IFB for TDCJ cafeteria products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum No. 2) encompasses a broader food scope but includes dried beans alongside proteins, grains, and dairy items. Small municipalities also participate: the City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans within a CACFP meal-program RFP covering five supply categories (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051.
