UNSPSC 50426817: Dried chaoyotes

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

UNSPSC 50426817 Dried chaoyotes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity grounded directly in the code's scope. The source documents name the code but show no active solicitations specifically for dried chaoyotes; instead, recent opportunities under this code tag broader food-supply solicitations that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, grains, dairy, condiments, and prepared entrees alongside dried beans and other staple ingredients. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds in one solicitation and 127,500 pounds in another), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items including proteins and grains, the Texas Comptroller's office (on behalf of TDCJ) has issued an IFB for cafeteria food products to supply five geographic warehouse areas, and school districts across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia have issued RFPs and IFBs for grocery items, fresh produce, and food supply and distribution contracts serving thousands of daily meals. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, school districts (ranging from small rural systems like Rockwood R-VI in Missouri to large suburban systems like Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of operating agencies. The code's scope in active solicitations centers on bulk dried beans, grains, proteins, produce, and mixed grocery items delivered to correctional facilities and school nutrition programs.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri. Texas accounts for multiple recent solicitations (TDCJ cafeteria products, City of Edinburg CACFP meal program), Georgia shows sustained school district activity (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County fresh produce and eggs contracts), and Oregon corrections procurement has appeared twice. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bid due June 19, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ distribution points (original deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services solicitation for grocery items 2026-2027 with bids due April 29, 2026, and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows sporadic rather than consistent activity, with opportunities clustered around school-year procurement cycles (March through April for academic year 2026-27 contracts) and standing correctional facility supply needs.
