UNSPSC 50426838: Dried lo bok

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

UNSPSC 50426838 Dried lo bok, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The six opportunities posted between May and October 2026 include only one solicitation explicitly naming dried lo bok; the others request kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, general food supplies, cafeteria food products, and weekly food orders—none of which align with the code's stated commodity. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring dried legumes and institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, school meal programs, state agencies, and educational institutions; issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Texas), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Illinois), and municipal food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work being bought is bulk dried beans and institutional food supplies—palletized, triple-cleaned, graded to USDA or food-safety standards, and delivered to cafeterias, correctional warehouses, and centralized distribution centers for meal preparation.

Oregon and Georgia are the primary recent jurisdictions, with activity concentrated in state correctional and institutional food programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued solicitations on June 5, 2026 (S2910000017140, approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, bids due June 19, 2026) and August 7, 2026 (S2910000017705, dried black beans triple-cleaned, bids due August 21, 2026), both FOB destination to Salem with USDA grading requirements and Oregon-based vendor preferences. Georgia Correctional Industries posted a request for kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027, 880-bag increments, bids due October 9, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five Texas distribution points (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The City of Edinburg issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies including beverages, paper goods, proteins, and produce serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026, with Texas local-vendor preference). Illinois posted a quarterly food order procurement (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with no value disclosed. The code shows material activity in correctional and school food service but limited specificity to dried lo bok itself.
