UNSPSC 50426114: Dried trinidad spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426114 Dried trinidad spinach, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty dried produce but shows minimal alignment with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried trinidad spinach itself. Instead, state and local buyers are procuring dried beans — kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — in bulk quantities for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child-care meal programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg all posted bids or RFPs for dried legumes between May and October 2026, but none for the specific commodity the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with current state and local purchasing patterns under dried-produce categories.

When issuing bodies do procure dried beans and allied bulk food items, the work spans state correctional systems, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal-justice or institutional buyers, city food-service programs, and regional food suppliers serving multiple warehouse locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline through an IFB, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders and referencing a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic Texas warehouse locations with a contract term through August 31, 2027, and optional renewal. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies including beans and other staples for 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a response deadline of August 4, 2026. Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with an August 21, 2026 deadline. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon; the code itself remains underutilized for its nominal commodity classification.
