UNSPSC 50431910: Dried organic cylindra beets

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

UNSPSC 50431910 Dried organic cylindra beets is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of dried legumes and bulk institutional food products for correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and other government food-service operations. Recent opportunities solicited under this code show a gap between the nominal category name and actual buying patterns: state and local governments are purchasing dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — rather than cylindra beets specifically. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois are the repeat institutional buyers in the recent record, each procuring large volumes of dried beans for inmate and institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments and correctional agencies, supplemented by municipal and local food-service authorities managing child nutrition and Adult Care Food Programs. Specifications across solicitations emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning for contaminant removal, food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), bulk packaging on pallets, and FOB destination delivery to central distribution points.

Procurement activity in this category concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon fabrication and headquarters, and the State of Oregon issued a separate bid for dried black beans triple-cleaned (due August 21, 2026) to institutional users. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026, RFQ No. 92100ERFQ0020612027) with all-inclusive pricing and electronic PDF submission. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division, issued a large-scope IFB for cafeteria food products including legumes and diverse proteins across multiple warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children (RFP 2026017, due August 11, 2026) with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Illinois posted a quarterly food-supply order (due June 26, 2026) with brand-specific or approved-equivalent items. Delivery terms universally require FOB destination to state or institutional facilities, palletization on wooden four-way pallets where specified, and compliance with federal food-safety regulations; pricing must include all freight and fuel surcharges as all-inclusive bids.
