UNSPSC 50431846: Dried organic runner beans

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

UNSPSC 50431846 Dried organic runner beans (Commodity) covers dried legume products sourced for institutional food service and meal programs operated by state agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and child-care programs. State and local buyers procure these beans in bulk quantities—measured in bags, pallets, or pounds—for cooking in high-volume kitchen operations that serve correctional populations, students, and program participants. The code encompasses product specifications tied to USDA grading, moisture content, cleanliness standards, and food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), with delivery typically on FOB destination basis to central warehouse or distribution facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional agencies, municipal governments running child-care food programs, and Texas state procurement divisions buying on behalf of criminal justice agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are recent repeat buyers under closely related dried-bean codes.
