UNSPSC 50426500: Dried turnip greens

The type of vegetable known as turnip greens that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426500 Dried turnip greens, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The opportunities in the record actually procure dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—and broader institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies, not turnip greens. State and local purchasing offices are using this code to tag dried legume and institutional food procurement, a mismatch with the code's nominal scope that signals either tagging error or code creep in the procurement system.

The issuing bodies posting under the code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), correctional industries divisions (Georgia Correctional Industries), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and special-purpose entities (Boys & Girls Club operating a Child and Adult Care Food Program). Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) requiring 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the State of Oregon's bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors; the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children with daily Monday-Friday deliveries before noon and a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB on behalf of TDCJ for cafeteria food products (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. The code shows no relevant recent activity for dried turnip greens specifically.
