UNSPSC 50431843: Dried organic nuna beans

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

UNSPSC 50431843 Dried organic nuna beans is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure dried legumes for institutional meal programs and food services. However, recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity focused on kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans rather than nuna beans specifically. The work involves bulk procurement of USDA-graded, triple-cleaned dried beans for correctional facilities, child care programs, and other state-administered food services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of multiple agencies, county and municipal food service programs, and city-administered child and adult care food programs. The scope emphasizes compliance with food safety standards (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), delivery in palletized format to institutional distribution centers, and pricing that includes all transportation and fuel surcharges on an all-inclusive, FOB-destination basis.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5% for bidders headquartered in Oregon) and referencing a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent contractor Intersect USA. The State of Oregon solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with an August 21, 2026 deadline. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with an October 9, 2026 response date, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies including dried beans and other food items with an August 4, 2026 deadline and a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 allowing vendors within Edinburg a preference if bids fall within 5% of the lowest bid price. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with a May 4, 2026 deadline (extended via addendum from April 21) covering multiple TDCJ distribution points across Texas.
