UNSPSC 50431841: Dried organic mung beans

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

UNSPSC 50431841 Dried organic mung beans is a Commodity code that in practice spans dried legume procurement for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct purchasing of mung beans specifically. Instead, issuing bodies soliciting under this code's parent family are buying dried beans more broadly—pinto beans, red beans, and mixed legume staples—for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and child care operations. The City of Edinburg, Texas child nutrition program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (two ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in March 2026 and June 2026, seeking 127,500 and 42,500 pounds respectively) illustrate the institutional demand profile: high-volume, specification-driven procurement requiring USDA grading compliance, triple-cleaning or equivalent quality standards, firm pricing with freight prepaid and FOB destination delivery, and shelf-life certification. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (1,900+ grocery line items for the 2026-27 nutrition program), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (Master Grocery K-12 term contract), Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP for food supply serving 25,500 students), and Muscogee and Savannah-Chatham County school systems in Georgia are all active recent solicitors. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Statewide Procurement Division) and Oregon Department of Corrections also appear as repeat buyers in the legume category.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITBs on March 6, 2026 (42,500 pounds of dried pinto beans, due March 20) and June 5, 2026 (42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, due June 19), with a combined 10% Oregon-goods and resident-bidder evaluation preference applied. The Illinois Department of Human Services posted an FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order on June 18, 2026 (due June 26) covering weekly food supply for July-September. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 on April 6, 2026 (due April 27), requiring a minimum three-year food delivery track record and bidding on 76 of 89 school delivery line items; the contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals. Pricing remains firm for 365 days post-award, and delivery windows are tight—Monday to Friday before noon at schools, with separate weekend and supper delivery slots when scheduled. Mung beans as a named commodity see no direct recent solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition and corrections RFPs for legume line items and assess whether mung-bean-specific demand exists or whether broader dried-bean categories dominate actual purchasing.
