UNSPSC 50426848: Dried palm hearts

The type of vegetable known as palm hearts that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426848 Dried palm hearts is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect actual procurement of dried palm hearts; rather, the code appears to be a misalignment between taxonomy classification and the work being solicited. The solicitations tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, correctional-facility food service, and municipal child-care meal programs, encompassing broad grocery supply, fresh produce, dried beans, and packaged food products—none of which are palm hearts. The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Muscogee County School District), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia, and Illinois), cities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and the Boys & Girls Club. The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school districts in the Southeast representing the largest cluster of recent activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026; the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a response deadline of April 27, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services bid for grocery items spanning over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year, due April 29, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026; and the City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code's nominal classification appears misapplied to these food-service procurement activities; business development professionals should verify the actual commodity or service classification before pursuing opportunities currently tagged to this code.
