UNSPSC 50423245 Dried pegasus corn (Commodity) covers dried legumes and grains procured by state and local governments for institutional food service and meal programs, including correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity centered on dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—procured in bulk for prison kitchens, child and adult care food programs, and general institutional meal service. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are active buyers; the City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois also solicit under related institutional food-service codes. Scope typically includes USDA-graded, triple-cleaned dried legumes delivered in bulk quantities (ranging from several hundred bags to tens of thousands of pounds), with specifications for moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, shelf life, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards. Deliveries are palletized and FOB destination to institutional distribution centers or meal-service locations, with all-inclusive pricing covering transportation, fuel surcharges, and handling.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois.
