UNSPSC 50426506: Dried snowball turnips

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

UNSPSC 50426506 Dried snowball turnips (Commodity) represents a narrow, specialized agricultural procurement category that sees minimal recent state and local activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of dried snowball turnips; instead, they span broad food service procurement including fresh and processed produce, dried beans, grocery staples, and cafeteria food products for school districts, corrections facilities, and municipal child nutrition programs. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). The issuing bodies reflect a mix of K-12 nutrition programs, state corrections food service, and child care food programs, with school districts and state departments appearing as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas agencies (TDCJ via Texas Comptroller, City of Edinburg), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (IFB, due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items of produce, grains, dairy, and prepared foods), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026, for 72 produce items), and the Oregon Department of Corrections dried pinto and red beans procurement (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, for 42,500 pounds). The code shows no recent activity specifically for dried snowball turnips; vendors pursuing work under this code should expect opportunities to span general dried-goods staples and produce categories rather than this particular specialty item.
