UNSPSC 50436000: Dried organic sorrels

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

UNSPSC 50436000 Dried organic sorrels is a Class code encompassing dried legumes and bean products for institutional and correctional food service. State and local governments procure under this code primarily dried beans — pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties — for bulk meal preparation in correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and child care operations. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies are predominantly state correctional departments, state procurement offices buying on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal government entities managing federally funded child nutrition programs. The work involves supplying triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans with specified moisture content, defect thresholds, and packaging for high-volume institutional cooking; pricing is all-inclusive with transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery embedded, and vendors often deliver palletized goods FOB destination on fixed schedules.

Activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined preference for Oregon fabrication and headquarters); the State of Oregon requested dried black beans triple-cleaned (S2910000017705, IFB due August 21, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items including dried beans across five warehouse locations (304T26300CF, IFB due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP2026017 for CACFP meal program supplies including beans and other food items for approximately 400 children (due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051). The State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order solicitation (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with limited details in available materials.
