UNSPSC 50426507: Dried tokyo turnip

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

UNSPSC 50426507 Dried tokyo turnip is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dried vegetable products sourced for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows minimal specific demand for this item. The few opportunities posted under or near this code reflect broad institutional food procurement spanning school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and municipal child care operations. State and local buyers soliciting food products generally bid on aggregated grocery or produce categories that include dried vegetables as subordinate line items within larger commodity baskets—fresh produce bundles, dried beans and legumes, or general food supply contracts—rather than soliciting dried tokyo turnip as a discrete procurement line. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all active in recent months. State corrections departments and municipal child nutrition programs also appear regularly, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, particularly Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities show the broader food categories into which dried vegetable items would fall: Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), covering hundreds of grocery line items for weekly school delivery; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2); the Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000016233 for dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026) and a follow-on ITB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), both delivered FOB destination to Salem with 45-day delivery windows and Oregon-processing preferences of up to 10 percent applied at evaluation. Dried tokyo turnip does not appear as a named line item in any posted solicitation; procurement under the code would depend on a vendor's ability to supply it as a secondary item within a larger grocery or institutional food contract, or on an issuing body that specifically requests it in a future competitive bid.
