UNSPSC 50431906: Dried organic burpees golden beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic burpees golden beets that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431906 Dried organic burpees golden beets (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal product scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code name specifies a single dried-vegetable product, but recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicited kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and broader food-supply categories for institutional meal service—none of them golden beets or organic-certified items. The issuing bodies span state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal or nonprofit food-service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Boys & Girls Club). The work being solicited reflects institutional bulk procurement for cafeteria, meal-program, and correctional-facility food service, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, bulk packaging, food-safety compliance, and FOB destination delivery to multiple warehouse or distribution points.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West, with solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (IFB with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation add-on and FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas, extended to May 4, 2026; Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026; and the State of Oregon's August 2026 RFQ for triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026. The code appears to be misaligned with its stated commodity definition and may reflect data-entry or taxonomy-assignment error rather than actual procurement of organic golden beets.
