UNSPSC 50426864: Dried water chestnuts

The type of vegetable known as water chestnuts that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426864 Dried water chestnuts (Commodity) does not match the work being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The six most recent postings name dried kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and general cafeteria or institutional food supplies—none of which are water chestnuts. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the procurement system or that water chestnuts are rarely purchased by state and local agencies. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

The available opportunities do reveal patterns in dried-legume procurement by state corrections and food-service agencies across multiple states. Oregon (ODOC purchasing approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at $0.493 per pound in the prior year, with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 grade specifications and a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit), Georgia (Correctional Industries seeking kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing), and Texas (TDCJ procuring diverse cafeteria staples including proteins, grains, and canned goods across five geographic warehouse areas via the Statewide Procurement Division) dominate the recent activity. Illinois also posted a weekly food-order solicitation in June 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, fruits, vegetables, janitorial items, and nonfood products) serving approximately 400 children daily with local-vendor preferences. None of these solicitations identify water chestnuts as a line item, and the code itself appears inactive in current state and local procurement.
