UNSPSC 50431850: Dried organic wax beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic wax beans that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431850 Dried organic wax beans is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity actually tagged to it. Of the thirteen recent opportunities in the source, only two address dried beans directly: the Oregon Department of Corrections procured approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans in June 2026 (IFB S2910000017140) and approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans in March 2026 (ITB S2910000016233), both delivered FOB to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards and triple-cleaned certification. The remaining eleven opportunities—from school districts, city and county child nutrition programs, and a state department of corrections facility food service—are broadly tagged to produce, fresh produce, grocery items, or food service categories rather than to the specific commodity of dried organic wax beans. The mismatch suggests this code's applicability is narrow or the tagging is imprecise in the underlying procurement system.

Procurement activity appears concentrated in state agencies and K-12 school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and correctional facilities as the primary buyers. The Oregon Department of Corrections is a repeat buyer of dried beans for inmate meals at standard commercial grades (not organic). No school district or city child nutrition opportunity in the source specifies dried organic wax beans as a line item; most solicit broadly for grocery items, produce, or food supply without itemizing commodity-level detail in the available summaries. Geographic distribution spans the South and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (City of Edinburg, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and Oregon (ODOC) showing the most recent activity. The absence of dedicated solicitations for dried organic wax beans suggests limited near-term pursuit opportunity under this specific code; bidders should monitor Oregon ODOC and state correctional facility food service procurements for potential commodity-level opportunities, though historical purchases have been for standard (non-organic) dried pinto and red beans.
