The variety of beans known as green romano beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421825 Dried green romano beans is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried legumes for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, child-care and adult-care programs, and state educational institutions. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing dried beans of various types—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—in bulk quantities suitable for large-scale meal preparation, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning for debris and contaminant removal, moisture-content compliance, and minimum shelf-life guarantees. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state procurement offices executing food buys for multiple agencies (Georgia, Illinois), and municipal entities running child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work involves commodity procurement with firm all-inclusive pricing, palletized FOB-destination delivery, compliance with FDA and HACCP standards, and responsive-bidder award criteria based on price and vendor responsibility.

Activity under this code clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026), with a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with strict specification compliance and all-inclusive delivery pricing; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, sought food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children (RFP 2026-017, due August 11, 2026), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051.
