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

UNSPSC 50431844 Dried organic pinto beans, a Commodity code, covers dried legumes—primarily pinto, kidney, and black beans in bulk institutional quantities—procured for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency food service operations. State and local governments buy these beans triple-cleaned to USDA standards, packaged in 50-pound or larger bulk formats suitable for institutional cooking, with strict moisture-content and foreign-material specifications. Recent opportunities show purchasing by state corrections departments, state education and nutrition programs, and municipal food-service operations serving child and adult care facilities. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are standout repeat buyers in the dataset. The work involves straightforward product specification compliance, palletization to handling standards, and guaranteed delivery within contracted timeframes.

Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026) offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers, requiring triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade, palletized FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, with a historical price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (response due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet completion rules; and the State of Oregon's August 2026 bid request for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, intended for institutional use across state agencies and educational institutions, with proposals due August 21, 2026.
