UNSPSC 50426850: Dried purslane

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

UNSPSC 50426850 Dried purslane, a Commodity code, does not appear in active state and local procurement. While the source identifies recent opportunities tagged under this code, the records show virtually no relevant purchasing activity aligned with dried purslane. The only substantive recent opportunity explicitly mentioning dried beans is the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017140, ITB, bids due June 19, 2026) and a separate ODOC procurement for dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, bids due March 20, 2026), both specifying pinto or red varieties rather than purslane. The remaining tagged records—including school district grocery and produce procurements from Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County in Georgia; a City of Edinburg CACFP meal program; and solicitations from Texas TDCJ and the State of Georgia—cover general food supplies, fresh produce, cafeteria items, and school nutrition products with no mention of purslane as a line item or specification.

The code's apparent lack of matching procurement activity suggests either minimal state and local demand for dried purslane as a standalone commodity, possible misclassification in the source tagging system, or that purslane, if purchased, is aggregated within broader produce or food-supply categories. Buyers in the recent record span school districts, state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and municipal food service operations across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, but none identified purslane procurement. Until purslane appears explicitly in a solicitation or bid line item, this code should be monitored but not actively pursued under current state and local procurement patterns.
