UNSPSC 50424700: Dried malanga

The type of vegetable known as malanga that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424700 Dried malanga is a Class code that sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity; the code itself nominally covers dried malanga root, but the recent opportunities sourced under this code show little direct alignment with that scope. The opportunities posted in the block span grocery and food supply procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and municipal child nutrition programs—primarily covering broad fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and sundry food service items rather than dried malanga specifically. State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), a state corrections department (Oregon Department of Corrections), a state food procurement office (State of Illinois), a municipal child nutrition program (City of Edinburg, Texas), and a state general-services food procurement (State of Georgia, State of Texas). The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois.

Recent opportunities under the code span multiple jurisdictions and notice types. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on March 6, 2026 (due March 20, 2026) for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans delivered to Salem, Oregon, with pricing at $0.43 per pound under the prior award and a five percent Oregon-origin preference applied. Fairfax County Public Schools released an IFB (2000004323) on April 6, 2026 (due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia, with a July 1, 2026 start and optional four-year renewals; that procurement required a minimum of three years' business and food-delivery experience and firm fixed-price F.O.B. destination terms with no specific budget disclosed. The City of Edinburg, Texas solicited an RFP (2026-017) on July 16, 2026 (due August 4, 2026) for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied to bids within 5 percent of lowest price. The code shows low volume and weak category fit relative to its nominal scope; dried malanga procurement does not surface in recent state and local solicitations.
