UNSPSC 50435804: Dried organic haricot vert de mer

The variety of organic sea vegetables known as organic haricot vert de mer that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435804 Dried organic haricot vert de mer, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of dried legumes for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of dried bean varieties than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing dried beans—including kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—for correctional facilities, child care programs, school districts, and other institutional meal operations. The work involves meeting USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), triple-cleaning specifications to remove debris and contaminants, and delivery in bulk quantities suitable for institutional cooking. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices on behalf of criminal justice agencies, city governments operating child care food programs, and state departments of corrections. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois have all posted solicitations under or adjacent to this code in recent months.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans on an RFQ basis due June 19, 2026, requiring triple-cleaned beans, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, palletized on four-way entry wooden pallets with a maximum 2,500-pound weight per pallet, and a one-year minimum shelf life; the ODOC applied a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods (5%) and Oregon-headquartered bidders (5%), with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements prohibiting shortcuts such as checkmarks or ditto marks. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service due August 4, 2026, encompassing beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood products for approximately 400 children daily. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF with a May 4, 2026 deadline (extended from April 21, 2026 via addendum), covering approximately 382 line items for multiple warehouse locations with firm pricing on FOB Destination terms and a contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals.
