The variety of organic beans known as organic european soldier beans that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431818 Dried organic European soldier beans is a Commodity code covering dried legume staples for institutional food service and bulk meal preparation. State and local governments procure dried beans under this code primarily for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency food services. Recent solicitations show demand for dried kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans—species that match the code's nominal scope—sourced for incremental delivery to central distribution centers or for weekly institutional meal fulfillment. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions, city and county food programs (including child and adult care food programs), and state educational institutions. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear across multiple recent opportunities, indicating repeat procurement activity within the corrections sector.
