UNSPSC 50432800 Dried organic chards is a Class code that in practice covers institutional procurement of dried legumes and bulk food commodities for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency meal services. State and local opportunities solicited under this code show a focus on dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—procured in large quantities for institutional cooking and meal preparation, typically triple-cleaned to USDA No. 2 or better grade and meeting food-safety standards including FDA, USDA, and HACCP compliance. The issuing bodies are primarily state correctional departments and agencies, with occasional school districts and municipal governments participating in food-service and child care programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois have each posted solicitations under or near this code family in the past six months, indicating repeat procurement activity by institutional foodservice users.
