UNSPSC 50426855: Dried tassle grape-hyacinth

The type of vegetable known as tassle grape-hyacinth that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426855 Dried tassle grape-hyacinth, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope describes a specialized ornamental plant product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect institutional food procurement — dried beans, meal-service supplies, and cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agency meal services. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg (Texas), and the State of Illinois have all posted solicitations for bulk dried legumes and institutional food supply, none of which match the code's stated commodity.

State correctional and institutional buyers dominate the activity. Georgia posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (880-bag increments, all-inclusive delivery pricing), and Oregon's Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation adjustment and FOB destination delivery to Salem. Texas TDCJ issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across 382 line items (proteins, dairy, grains, produce, condiments) due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21), with responses to the Statewide Procurement Division and awards made line-item-by-line on best-value criteria. The City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (beverages, paper goods, food, janitorial, and nonfood items for 400 children daily) carried an August 4, 2026 deadline and applied Texas local-vendor preference within 5% of lowest bid. The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a taxonomy-entry error or a misclassification by issuing bodies; the code itself shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.
