UNSPSC 50434701: Dried organic amarilla malanga

The variety of organic malanga known as organic amarilla malanga that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434701 Dried organic amarilla malanga, a Commodity code, captures procurement of specialized dried legumes and root vegetables for institutional food service, though the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code centers on dried beans—pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties—rather than the nominal commodity name. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily correctional institutions, state purchasing divisions, and child nutrition programs that source bulk dried legumes for inmate meal programs, institutional cafeterias, and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal services. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and various state procurement offices on behalf of institutional users dominate the recent buyer list. The work consists of sourcing USDA-graded, triple-cleaned dried beans in quantities ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, with strict specifications for moisture content, foreign-material limits, defect thresholds, shelf life, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards. Delivery terms uniformly require palletization, FOB destination to state distribution centers, all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight or handling fees, and frequent weekly or monthly delivery schedules to support continuous institutional food service operations.

Activity concentrates in Oregon and Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas and Illinois. Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders, bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 eRFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including multiple dried legume categories across five Texas warehouse locations, with bids extended to May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time; and the State of Oregon's August 2026 bid for triple-cleaned dried black beans for institutional use, due August 21, 2026. A City of Edinburg, Texas, RFP for CACFP meal program supplies due August 4, 2026 included beans among five supply categories, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied to bids within 5% of lowest price.
