UNSPSC 50431837: Dried organic mat beans

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

UNSPSC 50431837 Dried organic mat beans, a Commodity code, covers dried legumes sourced for institutional food service operations across state and local government agencies, school districts, and corrections departments. State and local procurements under this code acquire dried beans—primarily pinto, red, and similar varieties—for meal preparation in large-scale food service operations. Recent solicitations show dried beans entering the supply chain as bulk ingredients for cafeteria meals, child nutrition programs, and institutional kitchen operations, with purchase volumes ranging from tens of thousands to over 127,000 pounds per order.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state corrections departments, school districts serving K-12 and extended-care populations, and city agencies operating child nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, posting separate solicitations for dried pinto beans and pinto-and-red bean combinations within a four-month window (March 2026 and June 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with notable recent solicitations from Oregon (ODOC purchases), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program, TDCJ cafeteria procurement), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition services), and Georgia (state procurement for food supplies). Representative recent opportunities include ODOC's ITB S-29100-00016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026, and ODOC's IFB S-2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, both specifying U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned product, FOB destination delivery to Salem, and 45-day fulfillment timelines. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies including dried bean procurement due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent evaluation preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods plus 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders), while Texas extends local-vendor price-matching preference within 5 percent of the lowest bid.
