UNSPSC 50426808: Dried bamboo shoots

The type of vegetable known as bamboo shoots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426808 Dried bamboo shoots is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block returned no solicitations actually requesting dried bamboo shoots; instead, the tagged opportunities cover kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad food-supply categories for correctional and child-care meal programs. State and local governments do purchase dried legumes and institutional food products through codes in this family, but the evidence does not support active procurement specifically for bamboo shoots at this time.

The opportunities that do appear under related commodity codes in the dried-bean and food-supply space reflect institutional food service for state correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and educational settings. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response deadline; Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans with an October 9, 2026 deadline; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a broad cafeteria-food IFB due May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items of protein, dairy, grains, and produce. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois have also posted food-supply RFPs for meal programs. Activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with opportunities typically requiring FOB destination delivery, USDA-grade compliance, and all-inclusive pricing. If your firm supplies dried legumes or institutional food products, monitor the related dried-bean codes and institutional-food categories rather than the bamboo-specific commodity; pursue opportunities as they post in the issuing bodies named above.
