UNSPSC 50431902: Dried organic albina vereduna beets

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

UNSPSC 50431902 Dried organic albina vereduna beets is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses dried legume and bean products for institutional food service — including dried pinto beans, red beans, black beans, and kidney beans procured for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency meal operations. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily state departments of corrections, state procurement offices managing institutional food supply chains, and municipal entities operating child and adult care food programs. The work involves bulk procurement of food-grade dried beans meeting USDA or equivalent grading standards, triple-cleaned to remove debris and foreign material, with delivery to institutional distribution centers or direct to meal-service locations. Specifications typically require compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards, palletized shipment on standard wooden pallets where applicable, and shelf-life certification; pricing is all-inclusive of transportation and fuel surcharges with no separate line-item reimbursement for freight.
