UNSPSC 50426828: Dried gailon

The type of vegetable known as gailon that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426828 Dried gailon, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement records with minimal direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show activity in school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care services, but the solicitations encompass broad grocery and food-supply procurement rather than dried gailon specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited a CACFP Meal Program supply contract covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, fruits, vegetables, and janitorial supplies (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026), while the Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for dried pinto beans and mixed dried beans (S2910000016233 and S2910000017140, March and June 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division procured cafeteria food products across 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments (IFB 304T26300CF, May 2026). The State of Georgia and State of Illinois both posted food and grocery solicitations without itemized scope details in available records. School districts in Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri; Muscogee County, Georgia; and Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia, each solicited grocery and produce contracts serving thousands of daily meal participants. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued a cooperative buying RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026).

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and state-level solicitations), Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County), with school districts and state correctional and human-services agencies as primary issuing bodies. School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate recent solicitations, with RFP, RFQ, and ITB notice types appearing across the group. The code's recent activity does not isolate dried gailon procurement; instead, it captures a broader grocery-supply taxonomy that state and local systems use interchangeably for food-service contracting. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to respond to multi-category food and supply RFPs and ITBs rather than single-commodity dried-bean bids, though dried beans appear as line items within larger procurement packages (notably the Oregon ODOC procurements of 42,500 and 127,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, ITBs S2910000017140 and S2910000016233, with response dates of June 19, 2026, and March 20, 2026, respectively).
