UNSPSC 50436854: Dried organic spoonwart

The type of organic vegetable known as organic spoonwart that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436854 Dried organic spoonwart is a Commodity code that covers dried legumes and pulses for institutional food service and correctional, educational, and social-services meal programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure dried beans — including pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties — in bulk quantities for cafeteria operations, prison food services, child and adult care food programs (CACFP), and institutional cooking. The issuing bodies are typically state correctional departments, state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple state agencies or educational institutions, city social-services entities (such as Boys and Girls Clubs), and statewide institutional food-purchasing programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois have all posted solicitations under or closely aligned with this code within the past six months. The work involves specification-driven procurement with detailed requirements for bean variety, grading standards, moisture content, cleanliness thresholds, packaging, pallet specifications, and delivery schedules.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and South. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline, requiring triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans, FOB destination to Salem, Oregon within 45 days, with a 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered vendors) and a historical price baseline of $0.493 per pound from the incumbent, Intersect USA.
