UNSPSC 50425003: Dried naranjilla

The variety of nightshades known as naranjilla that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425003 Dried naranjilla, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers a specific fruit product, but the most recent opportunities recorded under it do not procure naranjilla. Instead, state and local issuing bodies have tagged solicitations for dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — under this commodity classification, suggesting a data-entry mismatch or a broader institutional categorization of dried legumes that may not align with the code's stated scope. The work being solicited is institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, educational institutions, child and adult care programs, and state agency meal services, all requiring bulk dried legumes suitable for large-scale kitchen operations.

The issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state education or institutional purchasing divisions (Georgia and Oregon state agencies), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries and the State of Oregon appear in the recent record more than once. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for 880 bags of kidney beans with a response date of October 9, 2026; the State of Oregon's bid solicitation for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 under OregonBuys, which offered a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products covering multiple food categories with a May 4, 2026 response date extended via addendum. Most solicitations require FOB destination delivery, triple-cleaned product meeting USDA No. 2 or better grades, and all-inclusive pricing incorporating freight and handling.
