UNSPSC 50424702: Dried blanca malanga

The variety of malanga known as blanca malanga that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424702 Dried blanca malanga is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized dried root vegetables, though recent solicitation activity shows no direct purchasing of dried blanca malanga itself. Instead, the code appears in a procurement dataset alongside broader dried-goods buys—particularly dried beans (pinto and red varieties)—that state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities source for food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited approximately 42,500 pounds and 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans across separate procurements (ITB S-29100-00016233 and S-29100-00017140), both requiring triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 or better grade products with minimum one-year shelf life, FOB destination delivery to Salem, and firm fixed pricing inclusive of transportation and fuel surcharge. These institutional buyers—state correctional systems, school nutrition programs, and child care food programs—represent the primary demand segment under this code tier, with contracts typically structured as multi-month or annual terms requiring consistent supply to central distribution points or weekly school deliveries.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate dried bean solicitations in March and June 2026, while the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program), the State of Illinois (IVHQ quarterly food order), and the State of Georgia (general food supplies) posted notices in June and May 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) collectively represent the school-district segment, soliciting comprehensive grocery and produce items on annual or multi-year terms with estimated contract values ranging from approximately $4.4 million (Douglas County Area One) to over $9 million (Douglas County food supply and distribution). No recent solicitations explicitly request dried blanca malanga; the code's activity reflects institutional dried-goods procurement more broadly, with pricing history available (Oregon ODOC pinto bean historical price $0.43 to $0.493 per pound in 2025) and repeat-buyer patterns in correctional and school-nutrition channels where cost-plus-fixed and firm fixed-price models dominate.
