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 is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — including child nutrition meal programs, institutional food supply, fresh produce, and dried beans for corrections facilities — involve standard food service items (proteins, grains, dairy, fresh produce, and legumes) that fall outside the scope of dried ornamental botanicals. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that state and local buyers either have misclassified these opportunities within UNSPSC taxonomy or are using the code incorrectly; no evidence supports active procurement demand for dried tassle grape-hyacinth itself.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under codes adjacent to or conflated with this taxonomy include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, and Georgia), and local municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent opportunities span the South and West, with heavy activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services supporting 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026). This code should be deprioritized for business development focused on dried ornamental botanicals; vendors in institutional food service may find relevant activity under misclassified opportunities, but the code itself reflects taxonomy error rather than a coherent procurement signal.
