UNSPSC 50431917: Dried organic forono beets

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

UNSPSC 50431917, Dried organic forono beets (Commodity), names a narrow product category, but state and local governments procuring under this code buy dried beans and legumes for institutional food service — primarily corrections facilities, child-care programs, and educational institutions. The recent-opportunities block shows solicitations tagged to this code for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products, all destined for bulk meal preparation in state prison systems, schools, and care facilities. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections agencies, municipal child-care programs (City of Edinburg), and state purchasing offices. The work itself involves bidding dried legumes against USDA or state-specified grading standards, meeting triple-cleaned or equivalent quality thresholds, and delivering in bulk (ranging from 880-bag increments to 42,500 pounds) on FOB-destination or all-inclusive pricing terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation edge and historical pricing of $0.493 per pound. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products including dried beans across five Texas warehouse regions (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension, single award per line item, initial term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals). Georgia Correctional Industries bid kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg solicited CACFP meal-program supplies including food products for 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026, local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051). All recent opportunities specify delivery to institutional locations, require compliance with FDA and USDA standards, and impose all-inclusive or FOB-destination pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.
