UNSPSC 50424705: Dried islena malanga

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

UNSPSC 50424705 Dried islena malanga, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code. The code's nominal scope — a specific variety of dried root vegetable — bears no connection to the work state and local governments are actually buying: the recent opportunities solicited dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, red), food supplies for correctional institutions and school meal programs, and institutional cafeteria products. State and local procurement systems appear to have tagged these bean and general food-supply opportunities with this UNSPSC code in error, creating a mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual purchasing activity. The code shows minimal genuine recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.

No representative recent opportunities exist for dried islena malanga procurement under this code. The solicitations posted — Georgia Correctional Industries' request for kidney beans (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), the City of Edinburg's Child and Adult Care Food Program meal-supply RFP (RFP2026017, due August 11, 2026), Oregon's dried black-bean procurement (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' pinto and red bean bid (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food-products IFB (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026), and Illinois's quarterly food-order RFQ (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) — all involve commodity categories unrelated to the code's stated product. Business development professionals evaluating this code should expect continued misclassification of general institutional food procurement under this designation and seek clarification from procurement offices before investing pursuit effort.
