UNSPSC 50431845: Dried organic pole beans

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

UNSPSC 50431845 Dried organic pole beans, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement that sees minimal recent activity under the stated code nomenclature. Recent state and local solicitations do not show procurement officers explicitly requesting dried organic pole beans; instead, the solicitations naming dried beans focus on pinto varieties or unspecified dried beans. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, CACFP Meal Program, due August 4, 2026) includes dried beans as part of a broader food-product category supporting a child nutrition program, but without organic or pole-bean specification. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026, for 127,500 pounds; ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, for 42,500 pounds), meeting USDA No. 2 or better standards with triple-cleaning requirements and one-year minimum shelf life, but again specifying pinto rather than pole varieties and with no organic designation in either solicitation.

State purchasing activity under this code tier occurs within child nutrition programs (school districts, municipal meal services) and corrections departments, with no evidence of standout repeat buyers requesting this specific commodity. Recent opportunities show a concentration of general dried-bean purchasing in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, but procurement officers tagging opportunities to UNSPSC 50431845 are not in evidence. The code appears underutilized relative to the broader dried-bean and staple-grain activity visible in recent RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs from state nutrition programs; prospective vendors should verify that issuing bodies in target states actually reference this code or whether general produce and staple-food codes capture the activity instead.
