UNSPSC 50436839: Dried organic long beans

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

UNSPSC 50436839 Dried organic long beans is a Commodity code that names a specific dried legume product; however, state and local government procurement activity under this code does not align with the organic-only specification. The recent solicitations tracked under the code show purchasing of dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — for institutional meal service, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs, with no emphasis on organic certification. Georgia Correctional Industries procures kidney beans in 880-bag increments for inmate food service; the Oregon Department of Corrections purchases approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans for institutional cooking; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sources dried legumes as line items within broader cafeteria food product solicitations serving multiple prison warehouses. These buyers typically specify USDA grading standards (U.S. No. 2 or better), moisture and foreign-material thresholds, and triple-cleaned product suitable for bulk preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing divisions, cities managing child care meal programs, and institutional food-service operations. The code sees activity from state departments (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas) as primary buyers, with occasional municipal participation in school and community meal programs.

Geographic concentration in the recent solicitations centers on the South and Mountain West: Oregon Department of Corrections and state purchasing divisions in Oregon (black bean and pinto-bean RFQ posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney bean RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 posted October 2, 2026, due October 9, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Statewide Procurement Division (IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2); the State of Illinois (weekly food order FY-27 IVHQ quarterly solicitation due June 26, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program RFP 2026-017 due August 4, 2026). Pricing in recent awards reflects institutional-scale procurement: Oregon ODOC's historical price was $0.493 per pound in August 2025. Bid specifications uniformly require triple-cleaned product, palletized delivery to central distribution centers or facilities, FOB destination terms with freight included in pricing, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP food-safety standards. Response formats are electronic submission through state procurement portals or email, with questions deadlines preceding award dates by one to two weeks.
