UNSPSC 50426812: Dried beet tops

The type of vegetable known as beet tops that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426812 Dried beet tops, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the recent opportunities in the dataset are solicitations for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad cafeteria food products, not dried beet tops. State and local governments do procure dried legumes and institutional food supplies under codes in this family — primarily for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and other institutional food service operations — but the dataset contains no recent solicitations specifically for dried beet tops. The code's abstract definition does not match the work actually being bought in the jurisdictions posting opportunities to public procurement registries today.

The recent activity under related commodity codes shows dried beans and institutional food procurement concentrated among state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts and municipal meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, for a Child and Adult Care Food Program), and state purchasing offices coordinating multi-agency food supply contracts. These opportunities are posted as RFQs and IFBs with response dates ranging from June through October 2026 across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois; specification documents typically require USDA grading compliance, triple-cleaning standards, palletization, and FOB destination delivery. Given the absence of recent solicitations specifically naming dried beet tops and the prevalence of dried-bean procurement under adjacent commodity codes, firms evaluating this code should monitor whether state purchasing registries issue opportunities under it or whether beet-top procurement occurs under different codes entirely.
