UNSPSC 50426110: Dried orach spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426110 Dried orach spinach is a Commodity code with little recent relevant activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a substantial mismatch: state and local buyers are soliciting dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad institutional food-service supplies, not dried orach spinach. The opportunities reveal that state and local procurement under dried-legume and institutional-food categories focuses on bulk quantities for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency meal services, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, food safety certification, triple-cleaning or equivalent quality assurance, palletization requirements, and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal sites.

Issuing bodies include state correctional and purchasing departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, State of Oregon), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and special-purpose food-service entities (Georgia Correctional Industries). Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' IFB for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with delivery in 880-bag increments all-inclusive of freight; the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, fruits, vegetables, janitorial and nonfood items) serving 400 children daily, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with 10% combined Oregon-fabrication and headquarter preference and FOB destination to Salem; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products across 382 line items for multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, extended to May 4, 2026. Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Oregon, and Texas representing the most recent posting volume. No opportunities for dried orach spinach itself appear in the recent solicitation block, indicating this Commodity code does not align with current state and local procurement patterns.
