UNSPSC 50431831: Dried organic jacob's cattle beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic jacob's cattle beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431831 Dried organic jacob's cattle beans (Commodity) covers specialty dried legume products for institutional food service, though the code shows minimal direct recent activity aligned to its specific scope. State and local governments procuring under this taxonomy typically source dried beans as components of larger food supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections, school districts, and county or municipal child nutrition services. While the code's name specifies organic jacob's cattle beans, the recent opportunities block reflects broader dried-bean procurement by state and institutional buyers—the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds and 127,500 pounds respectively), with response deadlines in March and June 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products via IFB through the Statewide Procurement Division covering multiple protein and staple items including dried legumes as part of a larger 382-line-item procurement serving five TDCJ distribution centers across Texas with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections (based in Salem) posted two dried-bean solicitations in the first half of 2026, both allowing Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendor preferences (5 percent each). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, acting on behalf of TDCJ, issued a large multi-category IFB with a final response date of May 4, 2026, covering cafeteria supplies across five geographic regions. School districts in Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, and Illinois posted broader grocery and produce procurements during the same period, though these typically bundle dried legumes within master grocery or food-supply line items rather than as standalone commodity solicitations. No opportunities in the recent block are exclusively or primarily focused on organic jacob's cattle beans as a named product line, suggesting the code sees limited standalone demand or is subsumed within larger institutional food-service contracts where pricing and sourcing are negotiated as part of a portfolio approach.
