UNSPSC 50426501: Dried green globe turnips

The variety of turnips known as green globe turnips that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426501 Dried green globe turnips is a Commodity code that in practice captures institutional bulk procurement of dried legumes and beans for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency food service operations. The recent opportunities posted under this code show state and local buyers actually soliciting dried kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and related dried-legume products in large quantities — typically hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds per procurement — delivered to central distribution facilities or institutional kitchen locations. The issuing bodies are primarily state correctional departments and departments of corrections, state agencies operating food-service operations, municipal school districts running federal nutrition programs such as CACFP, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple using agencies. Scope includes triple-cleaned dried beans meeting USDA grading standards (often U.S. No. 2 or better), compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements, and delivery in bulk institutional quantities, sometimes with specific packaging (e.g., palletized on four-way wooden pallets with weight limits) and shelf-life guarantees.

The geographic spread includes Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois based on recent posted opportunities. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarters evaluation preference, historical pricing at $0.493 per pound, and delivery FOB destination to Salem; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026); and the State of Oregon's August 2026 bid for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, to USDA standards for institutional use. The Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted a broad cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026 that encompasses dried beans among many other food categories. Delivery, compliance with food-safety regulations, and all-inclusive firm pricing are consistent requirements across these opportunities.
