UNSPSC 50425704: Dried marian rutabagas

The type of vegetable known as marian rutabagas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425704 Dried marian rutabagas, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The source records show no solicitations for dried rutabagas; instead, all recent opportunities involve general grocery, produce, and prepared food procurement by school districts, corrections departments, and municipal food service programs. The code appears misaligned with current spending patterns, and the scope of work actually being solicited—fresh and frozen grocery staples, proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and prepared entrees for institutional meal programs—falls outside the narrow commodity definition.

Recent activity spans school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia and Missouri), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program, and the State of Illinois). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District posted an IFB for grocery items encompassing over 900 line items with bids due April 29, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026. Opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Because the code's nominal commodity definition (dried rutabagas) does not match any of the actual procurements in the record, the code does not appear to be a useful target for business development in the state and local food-service space.
