UNSPSC 50436800: Dried organic nominant vegetables

Vegetable types that belong to no other class and have no other vegetable commodities related to them that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436800 Dried organic nominant vegetables is a Class code covering dried beans and legumes procured by state correctional facilities, institutional food-service programs, and state agencies for bulk kitchen and meal preparation. Recent solicitations show purchasing of kidney beans, pinto and red beans, and black beans in large quantities—typically measured in hundreds of pounds or thousands of bags—delivered to correctional institutions, child-care food programs, and state distribution centers. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal child-care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The scope encompasses triple-cleaned beans meeting USDA No. 2 or better grade standards, compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements, and delivery on palletized freight with specified shelf-life minimums. Vendors must demonstrate food-safety certifications and capacity for large-scale institutional fulfillment.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) requesting delivery in 880-bag increments on an all-inclusive basis with no separate freight reimbursement. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and headquarters in Oregon; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned (solicitation S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal-program supplies including dried vegetables and beans as part of a broader food-service RFP (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Illinois and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) also solicited broader food-supply contracts encompassing dried legumes; the TDCJ IFB (304T26300CF) covered multiple categories across five geographic Texas warehouse areas with delivery to six distribution points, FOB Destination, and a contract term through August 31, 2027 with optional renewals.
