UNSPSC 50421844: Dried pinto beans

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

UNSPSC 50421844 Dried pinto beans is a Commodity code capturing what state and local governments buy for institutional food service — primarily dried legumes in bulk for correctional facilities, schools, state agencies, and related institutional meal programs. The scope spans single-variety beans (pinto, kidney, black) and mixed-variety orders, all specified to food-service grade with triple-cleaning and USDA compliance. Recent activity shows state correctional systems (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas) as the dominant buyers, along with school districts and municipal governments managing child-care food programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear repeatedly as issuing bodies across multiple quarters.

Recent solicitations are concentrated in the Southeast and West with secondary activity in Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued solicitation S2910000017140 (Beans, Dried Pinto AND Red, due June 19, 2026, requesting 42,500 pounds at approximately $0.493 per pound) and S2910000017705 (Beans, Dried Black Triple Cleaned, due August 21, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries posted RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026, 880-bag increments); and the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited meal-program supplies under RFP 2026017 (due August 4, 2026) that included dried beans as part of a broader CACFP food bundle. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum 2) covers miscellaneous food staples across five distribution areas. All recent opportunities require FOB destination delivery, USDA/FDA compliance, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.
