UNSPSC 50431849: Dried organic tonka beans

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

UNSPSC 50431849 Dried organic tonka beans, a Commodity code, encompasses bulk dried legumes procured for institutional meal service and correctional facility food programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase dried beans — kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — for correctional industries, child and adult care food programs, state institutional cafeterias, and educational facility meal preparation. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state procurement offices, city municipal governments, and state agencies operating food-service operations. Specifications consistently emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning to remove foreign material and contaminants, moisture-content limits, and bulk institutional-cooking suitability delivered on pallets or in bags with minimum shelf-life assurance and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP requirements.

Recent activity spans Oregon and Texas as primary procurement hubs, with secondary activity in Georgia and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical price was $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026), with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance requirements. The State of Oregon posted a second solicitation on August 7, 2026, for dried black beans triple-cleaned to USDA standards (due August 21, 2026) for institutional state agency and educational use. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB in May 2026 for cafeteria food products including multiple dried-bean line items across five Texas warehouse locations (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026), with FOB Destination delivery and a 1.5 percent administrative fee applicable. All solicitations require firm, all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight or surcharge line items permitted; delivery timelines range from 30 to 45 days post-purchase order.
