UNSPSC 50436837 Dried organic linkok, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code comprise dried beans for institutional and correctional food service — kidney beans for Georgia Correctional Industries, black beans and pinto/red beans for Oregon state agencies, and cafeteria food products including various dried legumes for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia food-service programs. The solicitations reflect bulk institutional procurement for correctional facilities, state-agency meal programs, and school-district child and adult care food programs. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), state purchasing offices, municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and affiliated food-service providers. Work solicited spans specification and delivery of USDA-graded dried beans meeting food-safety and institutional meal-preparation standards, typically in palletized bulk quantities with FOB destination or all-inclusive delivery pricing.
