UNSPSC 50426831: Dried gobo

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

UNSPSC 50426831 Dried gobo is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant activity in recent state and local procurement. The source contains no solicitations specifically for dried gobo; the code shows little current market presence among state and local buyers. Recent opportunities in the broader dried-goods and food-supply space—such as the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurements for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026)—represent dried legumes rather than gobo root, indicating that while state agencies do purchase dried vegetable commodities for institutional food service, dried gobo does not appear in current competitive solicitations.

School districts, state corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition programs dominate state and local food procurement activity, but their recent RFPs and ITBs focus on mainstream commodity vegetables, proteins, grains, and produce rather than specialty dried roots. The Oregon Department of Corrections has established procurement precedent for dried beans (U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned, FOB destination delivery within 45 days, $0.43 to $0.493 per pound in 2025–2026), but no comparable solicitation for dried gobo appears in the dataset. Without documented recent demand from major institutional buyers—state departments, school districts, counties, or transit authorities—dried gobo represents a low-activity code with no identifiable near-term pursuit opportunity in state and local government contracting.
