UNSPSC 50426832: Dried hop sprouts

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

UNSPSC 50426832 Dried hop sprouts, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are procuring under this designation. The code's recent opportunities show solicitations for broad food-service and nutrition-program supply contracts — including main-line groceries, fresh produce, prepared entrees, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and ancillary food products — rather than the narrow category of dried hop sprouts. State and local food-service operations, child nutrition programs, and correctional institutions are the primary issuing bodies. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), Georgia Department of Health and Human Services, and school districts in Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Georgia have all posted opportunities under this code within the last four months, though these solicitations name dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria food items, and grocery staples — not hop sprouts — as the primary procurement need. The Commodity designation appears misaligned with actual purchasing patterns, suggesting either a classification error or residual legacy coding from a prior revision cycle.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans with bids due March 20, 2026, and a subsequent ITB for pinto and red beans combined due June 19, 2026. In Georgia, the Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (February 18, 2026 deadline) with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $9,000,000, and the Muscogee County School District solicited fresh produce via ITB 26-017 (April 27, 2026 deadline). Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 services (April 27, 2026) with weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix; state corrections systems and city/county food-service operations are secondary players. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement content suggests this code warrants review before pursuit.
