UNSPSC 50424700: Dried malanga

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

UNSPSC 50424700 Dried malanga, a Class code, addresses institutional bulk food procurement for state correctional facilities, child-care programs, and other public agencies — though recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied to a broader array of dried legumes (kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans) than the nominal commodity name suggests. State and local governments buy these products in high-volume institutional quantities, typically 880-bag increments or tens of thousands of pounds, for meal programs, correctional kitchens, and food-service operations. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional customers (Illinois, Georgia), and municipal governments running child-care meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The code shows activity across purchasing departments, corrections agencies, and city procurement divisions, with repeat solicitation from state departments.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 IFB for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027), requiring electronic PDF submission and all-inclusive pricing with delivery in 880-bag lots; the State of Oregon's August 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (Solicitation S2910000017140), with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers, triple-cleaned specification, and a historical pricing reference of $0.493 per pound from the prior year; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026 (Solicitation 304T26300CF), covering 382 line items across multiple food categories with delivery to six distribution points across Texas. The City of Edinburg, Texas, also solicited August 2026 for CACFP meal-program supplies (RFP 2026-017) with a local-vendor preference applying to bids within 5% of the lowest price. All solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, food-safety certification, and FOB-destination or all-inclusive delivery terms.
