UNSPSC 50426863: Dried udo

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

UNSPSC 50426863 Dried udo is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly aligned with this specific product. The code nominally covers dried udo, a Japanese plant harvested for its edible shoots. In practice, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies — but they solicit dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red) and broad cafeteria food products rather than udo. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state procurement systems or that udo is rarely purchased through state and local channels. The opportunities that do appear under the code span correctional industries, child and adult care food programs, and criminal justice meal services, indicating that when institutional food procurement occurs, it follows a pattern of bulk commodity sourcing with strict specifications, delivery-on-demand logistics, and compliance with USDA or state nutrition standards.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans with response due October 9, 2026, specifying 880-bag increments and all-inclusive pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (RFP2026017) due August 4, 2026, covering beverages, paper goods, food products, proteins, and janitorial items for 400 children with a 5% local-vendor preference. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-based preference and FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026), covering 382 line items with USDA grade requirements and firm, all-inclusive pricing to six distribution points. Illinois and a second Georgia agency also posted food-order solicitations, though with limited detail. Geographic spread and issuing-body diversity suggest routine procurement activity among state correctional and institutional meal services, but the code's nominal scope does not align with what is actually being bought.
