Commodity Specification Dry Edible Beans, Peas, and Lentils

Effective Date: July 2023 Page 1 of 19 

GENERAL

U.S. Standards

Dry, edible beans, peas, and lentils (product/commodity) produced under this Commodity 

Specification must meet the requirements specified in the applicable United States Standards for 

Beans, Whole Dry Peas, Split Peas and Lentils (U.S. Standards) effective on the date of the 

Solicitation/Invitation for Bid (IFB). The U.S. Standards are published separately and are 

incorporated herein and made a part of this Commodity Specification. 

Exceptions to U.S. Standards

Exceptions to the U.S. Standards for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) purchases are found 

in Section II, Commodity Specifications, of this document. Additional exceptions may be 

specified in the applicable Solicitation/IFB. Any exceptions contained in the applicable 

Solicitations/IFB shall have precedence over the requirements contained herein, for that 

Solicitation/IFB only. 

Product Origin

1. Commodities delivered pursuant to this Commodity Specification shall have originated 

from crops that have been 100% grown, processed, and packed in the United States, its 

territories or possessions, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the Trust Territories of 

the Pacific Islands, (hereinafter referred to as the United States). See the Master

Solicitation.

2. If the contractor handles any commodity originating from sources other than the United 

States, the contractor must have a written plan to segregate the commodity. This 

segregation plan will include an identification and record system for all commodities to 

ensure they are completely segregated and cannot be used to fulfill purchase orders 

awarded by USDA. Such segregation plan must be made available to representatives of 

the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).

3. The contractor must maintain positive written documentation records evidencing 100 

percent domestic origin, to the grower level. Contractors must also ensure that the 

documentation provided by any subcontractors demonstrates the same level of traceability. 

The burden of proof of compliance is on the contractor. 

Documentation may include load or warehouse storage receipts for raw product (i.e., bin 

tags), product blend (formulation) records, product coding explanations, finished product 

warehousing records, shipping or payment records, or other documentation or evidence 

that clearly establishes the product's domestic origin. 

4. Such records must be available for review by the Government in accordance with FAR 

52.214-26. In the event of an audit, AMS auditors will examine documents to verify 

compliance.
Commodity Specification Dry Edible Beans, Peas, and Lentils

Effective Date: July 2023 Page 2 of 19 

5. Self-certifications by contractors and subcontractors will not be accepted.

6. Failure to observe this requirement may lead to suspension or debarment, purchase order 

termination, and penalties at Title 18, Section 1001 of the US Code concerning 

falsification of information. 

Kosher Products

Occasionally, USDA solicits offers to sell KOSHER products. Such products are identified on the 

solicitation with the letter “K” incorporated into the WBSCM material descriptions (see Exhibit 5 

for specific products.) These products shall comply with applicable dietary (kosher) laws as 

established by the “613 Council of Kashruth.” Manufacturing plants shall be certified for 

compliance with the aforementioned requirement by contacting the Board of Jewish Education of 

Greater New York (BJENY) at 646-472-5368. Additional information regarding practices and 

protocols required for kosher certified production for BJENY schools can be found at the 

following link: BJENY Kosher Resource (usda.gov). 

At no cost to the vendor, a rabbinic supervisor will be sent to certify compliance of the 

manufacturing plant with the dietary (kosher) laws. Vendors must not bid on these purchase units 

unless they can be properly certified. Kosher products purchased solely for the #613 Council 

of Kashruth do not require a symbol on the primary or secondary container.

For other products, when commercial Kosher certification is requested in the solicitation, 

products must bear one of the Kosher certification symbols illustrated in Exhibit 9.

responsible for arrangement of pallet exchange.

Unitization

Each delivery unit of bean products must be unitized. Shipping cases must be stacked and secured 

from top to bottom, so that each container and layer of containers becomes an integral part of the 

pallet. Either stretch wrapping with plastic film or “lock ‘n pop” is acceptable. The palletized 
Commodity Specification Dry Edible Beans, Peas, and Lentils

Effective Date: July 2023 Page 8 of 19 

product must be loaded in the conveyance in such a way that will prevent shifting and damage to 

the containers of product. 

COMMODITY SPECIFICATIONS

Net Weight Specifications

The average net weight shall meet the weight as specified by the label. No individual primary

2.0 pounds 1.96 pounds 

25.0 pounds 24.5 pounds 

50.0 pounds 49.0 pounds

INSPECTION 

Requirements

FGIS must perform the inspection required by the Master Solicitation. Inspection of bean 

products must be performed not more than 90 days prior to shipment. Whether each lot offered 

meets the product and container requirements of the purchase order must be determined on the 

basis of representative sample units.

Representative sample units will be graded according to the Regulations Governing Inspection 

and Certification of Dry Edible Beans, Peas and Lentils and the United States Standards for 

Condition of Food Containers (7 C.F.R. part 42.140), effective on the date of the Solicitation/IFB. 

Checkloading

As a result of the Mandatory Checkloading Phase Out Program, the requirements for 

checkloading Dry Edible Beans, Peas, and Lentils, by USDA inspectors, were eliminated for 

contracts announced on or after April 1, 2021. Note: Checkloading may still be performed 

on all, or part of the deliveries, at the request and expense of the contractor.

Certification

Subject to the Master Solicitation, the acceptability of the quality, weight, and packaging of the 

product must be evidenced by certificates issued by FGIS. FGIS must also evidence the 

purchase order, line item number, solicitation, sales order, and item number provided by 

the contractor on its certificates. No product shall be shipped unless FGIS informs the 
Commodity Specification Dry Edible Beans, Peas, and Lentils

Effective Date: July 2023 Page 9 of 19 

contractor that a designated lot is acceptable. Notice by FGIS that a designated lot scheduled for 

shipment does not meet requirements of the purchase order shall constitute rejection of such lot.

Procedures

The contractor must give FGIS at least 7 days advance notice when scheduling inspection service. 

Contractors are encouraged to submit requests for inspection and weighing services in writing 

(FGIS-907) with verifiable receipt notice, such as fax log, to alleviate possible 

miscommunication.

FAILURE TO MEET SPECIFICATIONS

Any lot that fails applicable specifications prescribed herein will be rejected as not acceptable for 

delivery. If any lot of dry, edible beans, peas and lentils fails to meet the product or packaging 

requirement, the contractor may request in writing that USDA accept delivery of the lot. USDA 

may, at its option, accept delivery, provided that the purchase price is the purchase order price 

less a discount to be determined by the Contracting Officer.
