UNSPSC 50426113: Dried space spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426113 Dried space spinach, a Commodity-level code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source contains six recent opportunities spanning Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, but none address dried spinach—whether fresh, freeze-dried, or otherwise processed. Instead, the opportunities solicit dried beans (black, pinto, red, and kidney beans), cafeteria and institutional food products, CACFP meal program supplies, and general kitchen products. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought show a substantial mismatch, suggesting either a miscategorization in the state and local procurement systems or a dormant code that agencies are reusing for unrelated commodity buys.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code represent a mix of state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Oregon, State of Georgia, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state correctional systems, and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 center on bulk institutional food procurement—dried legumes for correctional facilities and state departments, meal program supplies for child care, and cafeteria products for detention facilities. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (response deadline May 4, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) represent the largest and most structured recent solicitations. Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026) reflect ongoing demand from correctional and municipal child nutrition programs. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit dried spinach or space-related agricultural products.
