UNSPSC 50426835: Dried kudzu

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

UNSPSC 50426835 Dried kudzu, a Commodity code, sees no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities tagged with this code document solicitations for school nutrition and correctional facility food service across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia—encompassing fresh produce (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes), eggs, dried pinto and red beans, cafeteria proteins (beef, chicken, fish), dairy products, grains, beverages, snacks, and condiments. None of these opportunities reference dried kudzu or any kudzu-based product; the code assignment appears to be a taxonomic mismatch rather than a signal of actual market demand for dried kudzu under this code.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the State of Georgia), a city government (Edinburg, Texas), and the City of Edinburg Boys & Girls Club. Activity concentrates in Georgia (four opportunities), Texas (three), Oregon (two), and Virginia and Missouri (one each). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026, at $0.43 per pound (previous award), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with responses due April 27, 2026. The code's nominal definition does not match any work currently being procured, suggesting this code should not be the basis for pursuit strategy.
