UNSPSC 50434700: Dried organic malanga

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

UNSPSC 50434700 Dried organic malanga is a Class code for specialty dried legumes and root vegetables purchased by state and local institutions for bulk meal service and institutional food programs. State and local governments procure under this code primarily dried beans and related legume products — pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and similar staples — for use in correctional facilities, child care food programs, state educational institutions, and other large-scale institutional kitchens. The issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal food service programs. Specifications consistently require USDA-graded product, triple-cleaned beans meeting food-safety and foreign-material standards, bulk institutional packaging, FOB destination delivery to central distribution points, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP requirements. Pricing is all-inclusive of transportation and fuel surcharges with no separate freight reimbursement.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026) with a historical price of $0.493 per pound and a combined 10% Oregon-origin preference; the State of Oregon similarly procured triple-cleaned dried black beans (due August 21, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including dried legumes across five geographic distribution areas (extended due date May 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). Illinois issued a quarterly weekly food order (due June 26, 2026) specifying brand-specific items or approved equivalents. Incumbent suppliers have included Intersect USA.
