UNSPSC 50431840: Dried organic moth beans

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

UNSPSC 50431840 Dried organic moth beans, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns directly with the code's scope. The source contains fourteen recent solicitations across food service procurement, but only two substantively match dried legumes: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds, March 2026, bid due March 20, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (42,500 pounds, June 2026, bid due June 19, 2026). The remaining twelve opportunities procure broader food-service categories—fresh produce, cafeteria staple items, beverages, dairy, and prepared entrees—for school districts, corrections facilities, and child-nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Ohio. None of those solicitations specifically reference dried organic moth beans or dried legumes as line items or categories.

The Oregon Department of Corrections stands out as the sole repeat buyer of dried beans in the recent sample, with specifications requiring U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned product, FOB destination delivery to Salem, and minimum one-year shelf life. Pricing in the March 2026 solicitation referenced a historical award of $0.43 per pound; the June 2026 ITB noted a prior incumbent award at $0.493 per pound. Both procurements permit Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendor preferences (5 percent each, evaluation-only). The code shows activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and limited to institutional food service (corrections and school nutrition programs) in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. No recent solicitations specifically target organic moth beans; all legume opportunities center on pinto and red beans for institutional feeding programs. The low frequency of dried-legume solicitations under this code suggests limited procurement velocity compared to broader fresh-produce and prepared-food categories dominating state and local food-service procurement.
