UNSPSC 50426857: Dried taro leaf

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

UNSPSC 50426857 Dried taro leaf is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried taro leaf—does not align with the solicitations tagged to it. The most recent opportunities instead request kidney beans (Georgia Correctional Industries), black and pinto beans (Oregon Department of Corrections), mixed food and nonfood items for child and adult care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and broad cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts). The issuing bodies are state correctional and food-service agencies, municipalities, and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of institutional users—correctional facilities, educational institutions, and child care programs. These are institutional bulk food procurements, not specifically taro leaf sourcing.

The geographic spread includes Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the most robust recent activity in Texas and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ in October 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026). The code shows no evidence of dried taro leaf being solicited in the current procurement environment; this appears to be a mistagging of institutional food-service commodity codes.
