UNSPSC 50426850: Dried purslane

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

UNSPSC 50426850 Dried purslane, a Commodity code, encompasses dried legume procurement by state and local institutions including correctional systems, food-service programs, and educational entities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying dried beans and legume products—specifically kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and other dried legume staples—in bulk quantities for institutional meal preparation, prison cafeteria operations, and child and adult care food programs. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional customers, and municipal governments managing federally funded food programs such as the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The code also captures broader food-supply procurement where dried legumes are bundled with proteins, grains, dairy, and kitchen products for multi-category institutional feeding operations.

Procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' request for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 grade or better, FOB destination Salem with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or -headquartered vendors (RFQ S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), and the State of Oregon's procurement for triple-cleaned dried black beans for institutional use (RFQ S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal contract spanning five supply categories including proteins and grains, evaluated on cost (30%), qualifications (25%), technical approach (25%), and menu quality (20%), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Delivery is a material requirement across all solicitations, typically daily or weekly to institutional distribution centers or meal sites, with FOB destination and all-inclusive pricing standard.
