UNSPSC 50426103: Dried giant winter spinach

The variety of spinach known as giant winter spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426103 Dried giant winter spinach (Commodity) does not see recent aligned state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto/red beans—not spinach, and reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought. The one opportunity that names spinach-adjacent produce, the City of Edinburg's Child and Adult Care Food Program meal contract (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026), solicits a broad basket of food and nonfood items across five supply categories (beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, janitorial supplies, and storage products) rather than a spinach-specific line item. The issuing bodies posting under or near this code span state departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois via IVHQ, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), a city government (Edinburg), and an independent school-district proxy (Boys & Girls Club), suggesting demand from institutional food-service buyers across multiple public jurisdictions.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West: Georgia (two dried-bean solicitations for correctional food service), Oregon (two dried-bean bids for state corrections and institutional use), Illinois (a quarterly food order), and Texas (a multi-location cafeteria-food procurement for TDCJ). The representative solicitations reveal that state and local governments actually buy dried legumes and institutional food staples at scale—the Oregon Department of Corrections bid requests 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a historical price of $0.493 per pound and the Texas TDCJ IFB (due May 4, 2026, per Addendum No. 2) spans 382 line items of cafeteria products across five geographic distribution areas. The Edinburg RFP applies a 5% local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, and the Oregon procurement offers a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Dried spinach specifically shows no recent solicitation activity under this code.
