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) does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. A review of posted opportunities reveals only tangential connections to this code—the recent solicitations span fresh produce, general grocery items, dried beans (pinto and red), and cafeteria staples, but none explicitly procure dried organic forono beets or dried beets of any variety.

The widest activity under dried-bean codes involves institutional food service: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds across multiple deliveries, with response deadlines in March and June 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited dried beans as one line item among 382 food products for five warehouse locations across Texas; and school districts in Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia included dried beans and legumes within broader grocery and produce procurement. State and local buyers purchasing dried legumes emphasize USDA grade compliance (typically U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaning certification, minimum one-year shelf life, palletized delivery on standard wooden pallets, and FOB Destination pricing including all freight and handling. If dried forono beets specifically are being purchased under this Commodity code, that demand does not appear in the posted market. Prospective vendors should verify whether state and local nutrition programs and institutional food service operations stock this product line at all, as recent solicitations show dried beans commoditized across commodities codes but dried beets—whether organic or conventional—absent from the visible pipeline.
