UNSPSC 50426834: Dried jicama

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

UNSPSC 50426834 Dried jicama, a Commodity code, nominally targets a single legume product but sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually for dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto/red beans — procured by state correctional agencies, departments of corrections, and child-care food programs for institutional meal service. The mismatch between the code name and the actual goods being bought suggests that state and local procurement offices are either tagging dried-legume purchases broadly under available codes or that this code captures only incidental activity in the broader dried-produce and institutional-food-supply market.

State and local buyers soliciting under or near this code include the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, City of Edinburg (Texas), State of Illinois, State of Oregon (general procurement), and State of Georgia. Recent opportunities span IFBs and RFQs for bulk dried beans in 42,500-pound quantities (Oregon ODOC, June 2026, bids due June 19), 880-bag kidney-bean orders (Georgia Correctional Industries, RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, bids due October 9, 2026), and mixed food-supply contracts supporting child-care meal programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, RFP 2026-017, proposals due August 11, 2026). Activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with procurement driven by correctional-facility food service, child-nutrition programs, and state warehousing operations. Institutional buyers specify triple-cleaned grades, USDA compliance, palletized FOB delivery, and firm all-inclusive pricing; response dates typically cluster 10–21 days from posting.
