UNSPSC 50421922: Dried sugar beets

The variety of beets known as sugar beets that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421922 Dried sugar beets (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records thirteen recent opportunities spanning dried beans, fresh produce, grocery staples, cafeteria food products, and child nutrition meal programs across multiple issuing bodies — but none of them solicit dried sugar beets specifically. The closest match is the Oregon Department of Corrections' dried pinto and red bean procurements (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, and ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026, requesting approximately 170,000 pounds combined), which demonstrate state agency interest in dried legumes for institutional food service. The remaining opportunities — from school districts in Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas; municipal and county school systems; and state corrections and child nutrition programs — focus on fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than dried sugar beets.

The absence of activity under this commodity code suggests either very limited procurement volume for dried sugar beets among state and local buyers or misalignment between the code and actual institutional purchasing patterns. Vendors targeting this code should monitor Oregon Department of Corrections and other institutional food service buyers for potential demand, but the current opportunity set shows no active market for this specific product line. Geographic focus in recent legume procurement appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and multi-state school nutrition programs in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, though dried sugar beets have not generated visible solicitations in those jurisdictions recently.
