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, appears in state and local procurement activity focused on bulk dried legumes and institutional food supply for correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and state agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the available opportunities target dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria food products — all higher-volume institutional purchases where suppliers deliver palletized or bagged product to correctional-system distribution centers, school-based meal programs, or state agency warehouses. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related dried-bean commodity codes include Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state purchasing divisions, and school districts and municipal meal-program operators serving child and adult nutrition mandates. The work involves meeting USDA grade standards, food-safety compliance (FDA, HACCP, current Good Manufacturing Practice), triple-cleaning or equivalent quality assurance, and bulk institutional packaging suitable for high-volume cooking operations.

Georgia, Oregon, and Texas show the heaviest recent activity, with Georgia Correctional Industries issuing an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (880-bag increments, all-inclusive delivery pricing, electronic PDF submission with detailed specification-sheet formatting); Oregon Department of Corrections posting an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 with 10 percent Oregon-preference evaluation and FOB destination delivery within 45 days to Salem; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five Texas warehouse locations, with an extended May 4, 2026 response date and firm, all-inclusive fixed pricing incorporating freight and fuel surcharges. The City of Edinburg, Texas also solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017, with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051. No recent opportunities explicitly match the dried malabar spinach code; the mismatch between the nominal commodity and the recent solicitations suggests limited current demand for that specific product line under this code.
