UNSPSC 10161901: Dried pods

UNSPSC 10161901 Dried pods is a Commodity code with little recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The two most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve environmental services (native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and invasive species removal at Pinellas County, Florida) and arts and craft supplies (for the Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), neither of which concerns dried pods as a product category. The mismatch suggests that procurement offices may be applying this code incorrectly to opportunities that fall outside agricultural commodity supply or that dried pods commands minimal purchasing volume in state and local procurement relative to other UNSPSC categories.

No recent state or local solicitations in the source block actually seek dried pods as a product line. The Pinellas County RFP (250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) focuses on environmental planting and wetland management services over a five-year term, while the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) procures arts and craft supplies for parks and recreation programs at an estimated annual value of $30,000 to $50,000. Neither opportunity is relevant to procurement professionals pursuing dried-pod supply contracts with state or local agencies.
