UNSPSC 50426809: Dried banana leaves

The type of vegetable known as banana leaves that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426809 Dried banana leaves, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations for dried banana leaves; instead, the opportunities posted under or near this code concern dried beans of various types — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — procured by state corrections departments, state educational institutions, and city meal-service programs for institutional bulk cooking and meal preparation. State and local governments do solicit dried legumes and bulk food staples for institutional dining, commissary, and meal-program operations, but the specific commodity of dried banana leaves does not appear in current public opportunities. The issuing bodies in the recent dataset include state departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), a city government (City of Edinburg, Texas), and specialized meal-program entities. The scope of work across these opportunities encompasses ingredient procurement for inmate dining, state agency cafeterias, child and adult care food programs, and food-service operations.

Geographic concentration in recent activity is limited to Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the largest contract volumes in Texas (TDCJ procurement across five warehouse regions) and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017140 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-business preference; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across 382 line items due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum); and the City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026. The code itself receives no recent solicitation activity matching dried banana leaves; the dataset mismatch suggests the code is either inactive in state and local procurement or misclassified in the opportunities listed.
