UNSPSC 50426107: Dried malabar spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426107 Dried malabar spinach, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with this specific dried-vegetable product. The code does not appear in any of the recent opportunities reviewed, suggesting either low demand for this particular commodity or frequent misclassification under broader food-supply categories. State and local governments sourcing food products for child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school districts do procure vegetables as components of broader meal programs, but these opportunities are typically aggregated under general produce, fresh vegetable, or food-supply codes rather than specific dried-commodity lines.

The recent opportunities in the broader dried-goods and produce space involve school districts, state corrections departments, and municipalities procuring fresh produce, dried beans, and comprehensive food-supply packages through RFPs and ITBs with response dates ranging from March to August 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate dried-bean ITBs (dried pinto beans in March and July 2026 with 127,500 and 42,500 pounds respectively), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across 382 line items serving multiple warehouse locations. Fresh-produce opportunities dominate the current activity: the Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all solicited fresh produce and eggs in February through April 2026, with annual spend estimates ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million across multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. No incumbent vendors specializing in dried malabar spinach are identified in these records, and no set-asides or preferences specific to dried-specialty vegetables are evident. Immediate pursuit of this code is not recommended absent a confirmed lead opportunity.
