UNSPSC 50433700: Dried organic fennels

The type of organic vegetable known as organic fennels that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433700 Dried organic fennels, a Class code, nominally addresses specialty dried legumes and vegetables for institutional food service, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under it are purchasing dried beans — pinto, red, black, and kidney beans — in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, state food programs, and child nutrition initiatives. The work covers sourcing and delivery of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans meeting food-safety and institutional meal-prep standards, with all-inclusive pricing that bundles transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery to distribution or service points. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices coordinating on behalf of corrections or food-program agencies, and municipal governments running child and adult care food programs. Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois show the most recent activity, with repeat procurement by the Oregon Department of Corrections and Georgia state purchasing offices.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers; Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026); and the State of Oregon soliciting dried black beans, triple-cleaned, for institutional use (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for food and nonfood items supporting a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Pricing in institutional food-service bids is submitted on an all-inclusive, firm fixed-price basis with no separate freight or delivery reimbursement; delivery windows range from same-day or next-business-day for meal programs to 45 days for bulk institutional stock.
