UNSPSC 50436818: Dried organic chickpeas

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

UNSPSC 50436818 Dried organic chickpeas is a Commodity code that names a single product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited specificity — the code appears in sourcing databases yet recent opportunities do not consistently solicit dried organic chickpeas as a standalone line item. Instead, dried beans (including pinto and red varieties) surface in two recent solicitations: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs in March and June 2026 requesting approximately 127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans respectively, with bids at $0.43 and $0.493 per pound in prior awards. Beyond dried-bean procurement, the recent opportunities block shows state and local agencies sourcing food products in broader categories — fresh produce, cafeteria staples, school nutrition supplies, and child care meal items — but these do not isolate dried chickpeas as a bought item. The code's abstract scope (dried organic chickpeas) and the actual purchasing pattern (general dried-bean and broader food-product procurement) diverge, signaling that opportunities under this code may be sparse or mislabeled in state and local systems.

Geographic activity concentrating in Oregon (Department of Corrections) and sparse evidence elsewhere limits forward-looking signals. No recent state or local procurement specifically names dried organic chickpeas as a solicited item. The Oregon DOC activity suggests institutional food-service buyers source dried beans competitively at low per-pound pricing, with incumbent and historical pricing data readily available; however, pursuit of this code requires confirming whether issuing bodies actually tag dried organic chickpeas separately from generic dried-bean or commodity-food categories. Vendors capable of supplying USDA-compliant, food-safe dried beans with certification, nutritional labeling, and palletized delivery on 45-day schedules have won recent Oregon contracts, but the Commodity code itself shows minimal recent transparency in state and local systems — monitor for future activity before committing resources to pursue this narrow category.
