UNSPSC 50426836: Dried lily bulb

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

UNSPSC 50426836 Dried lily bulb is a Commodity code that appears to have little recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code actually solicit dried beans — kidney beans, pinto and red beans, and black beans — for institutional food service across correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agency meal operations. None of the posted solicitations request dried lily bulbs. State and local governments buying under this code's nominal scope would be procuring specialty food ingredients for institutional kitchens, but the recent activity reflects a consistent pattern of dried legume procurement rather than bulb products. The issuing bodies include state correctional and food-service departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state-level purchasing on behalf of multiple agencies (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon), and municipal government (City of Edinburg, Texas).

The recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and West. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification compliance required. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned pinto and red beans by June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders, FOB destination to Salem, and a historical price point of $0.493 per pound. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply contract due August 4, 2026, encompassing five categories (beverages, paper goods, food products including proteins and vegetables, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products) for 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and pricing weighted at 30% of the evaluation. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB (304T26300CF) for cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026, spanning 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staple items for distribution across five geographic areas. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity signals low relevance for vendors supplying dried lily bulbs.
