UNSPSC 50435300: Dried organic peanuts

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

UNSPSC 50435300 Dried organic peanuts is a Class code that encompasses state and local procurement of legume products—primarily dried beans and peanuts—for institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing dried pinto beans, dried red beans, and related bulk legume staples for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and child care food service, though the organic peanuts nomenclature in the code name does not match the solicitation activity. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, school districts of varying size, and municipal child care programs, with significant activity concentrated among Georgia and Texas school districts, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These jurisdictions typically solicit bulk quantities—measured in tens of thousands of pounds—with firm-fixed pricing, USDA grade compliance requirements, extended shelf life minimums, and delivery to central distribution centers or school locations on FOB Destination terms.

The geographic spread reflects heavy activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto and red beans twice within the past four months (ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026, at $0.493 per pound historically), while Georgia school districts including Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County have posted multiple produce and grocery procurement RFPs and RFQs spanning February through April 2026. Texas procurement activity includes the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF (response extended to May 4, 2026) covering 382 line items with USDA grade requirements and the City of Edinburg CACFP meal program RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) for food supply to 400 children daily across five product categories, both with local-vendor preferences under Texas law. Illinois and Missouri school districts round out the recent activity. Award evaluation typically prioritizes lowest responsive, responsible bid, with secondary consideration for vendor qualifications, compliance with nutritional and USDA standards, and delivery timeliness; payment terms cluster around Net 30 to Net 40 days, and contract terms typically run one year with renewal options extending two to four years.
