UNSPSC 50426104: Dried horenso spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426104 Dried horenso spinach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity actually covers a broader range of dried legumes and institutional food products for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies rather than spinach specifically. State and local governments are soliciting dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—in bulk quantities for institutional meal preparation, institutional food service supply, and correctional kitchen operations. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal government entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). The scope of work centers on procurement of food-service staples meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications, food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service locations, often with strict specifications on moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, shelf life, and palletization requirements.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026, requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, applying a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound.
