UNSPSC 50436810: Dried organic batatas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic batatas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436810 Dried organic batatas is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it procure dried beans of various types — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agency meal operations. Issuing bodies include state correctional and purchasing departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state agencies (State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work involves sourcing bulk dried legumes in quantities ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, with specifications typically requiring USDA grading, triple-cleaning standards, compliance with food-safety regulations, and firm all-inclusive pricing that covers transportation and delivery to designated institutional warehouses or distribution centers. Evaluation focuses on price competitiveness, compliance with specifications, and vendor delivery capability.

Recent opportunities show concentration in the South and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid on June 5, 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017705), due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days.
