UNSPSC 50431901: Dried organic action beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic action beets that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431901 Dried organic action beets is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy staple dried legumes and vegetables for food service operations, particularly school districts and correctional facilities. Recent opportunities show that dried beans dominate procurement activity under this code—the Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto beans twice in recent months (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice included dried beans within a broader cafeteria food products IFB covering 382 line items across multiple categories. School districts and municipal food service programs also source dried goods through consolidated grocery procurement efforts, as evidenced by Rockwood R-VI School District's 2026-27 grocery items bid encompassing over 900 line items. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, school districts of varying sizes (from mid-sized districts serving under 19,000 students to large districts like Fairfax County Public Schools), and municipal child nutrition programs. State departments of corrections appear to be the most consistent buyers, with repeat solicitations suggesting regular restocking of institutional food supplies at scale.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South, with Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas state agencies issuing multiple recent bids, and Georgia school districts (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County) and Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI) soliciting produce and dried goods through IFBs and RFPs. The code shows substantial recent activity: Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016233 on March 6, 2026, for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, with an extended due date of May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas; and City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026017 on July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026, for CACFP meal program supplies including food products across five categories. Pricing is typically firm and fixed for the contract period, delivery is FOB destination on regular schedules (often weekly for school districts, FOB destination for state agencies), and awards generally go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Competition is open with no identified set-asides limiting participation.
