UNSPSC 50423302: Dried nasturtium

The variety of cresses known as nasturtium that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423302 Dried nasturtium, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct procurement activity under its nominal scope; recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually solicit dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red) and broader food-supply contracts for institutional meal programs and correctional facilities. State and local buyers under these code assignments include correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and institutional food-service programs serving children and incarcerated populations. The work being solicited comprises bulk dried legumes meeting USDA or equivalent grading standards, triple-cleaned and palletized for institutional cooking; broader food-supply categories including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, janitorial supplies, and paper goods for cafeteria and meal-program operations; and weekly or quarterly food fulfillment for correctional and educational facilities. All solicitations require compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards or equivalent food-safety protocols, with pricing on an all-inclusive, FOB-destination basis incorporating freight and delivery charges.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB (S2910000017705) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-origin goods and a historical benchmark price of $0.493 per pound.
