UNSPSC 50436503 Dried organic manchester market turnips is a Commodity code that in practice captures institutional dried-bean procurements for state correctional facilities, educational institutions, and child nutrition programs across the United States. State and local purchasing offices issue RFQs and IFBs for dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans—in bulk quantities suitable for institutional food service, with specifications tied to USDA grading standards, moisture limits, foreign-material thresholds, and triple-cleaning requirements. The issuing bodies are state correctional departments, state departments purchasing on behalf of institutional users, municipal governments operating child nutrition programs, and educational institutions within state systems. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat institutional buyers; the City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois also actively solicit under this code for meal programs and institutional food service.
