UNSPSC 50432500: Dried organic carrots

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

UNSPSC 50432500 Dried organic carrots, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The source shows solicitations for kidney beans, dried pinto and red beans, dried black beans, and mixed cafeteria and institutional food products — none of which are dried organic carrots. State and local procurement offices buying dried organic carrots may use this code inconsistently or tag opportunities under adjacent commodity codes instead. The issuing bodies in the mislabeled opportunities span state correctional and educational institutions (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal school food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state agency procurement divisions (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois). Work solicited under these mislabeled tags includes bulk institutional dried legumes for meal preparation and cafeteria food supplies for incarcerated populations and children in school nutrition programs, typically purchased through IFB or RFQ notice types with all-inclusive delivery pricing, USDA grading compliance, and food-safety certifications.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-processing and headquarter preference; the same state issued a separate dried black bean specification (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal package including proteins, beverages, and paper goods (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse locations (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The mislabeling of dried-legume and mixed-food opportunities under a dried-organic-carrots commodity code suggests either taxonomy inconsistency in state procurement systems or that dried organic carrots are rarely solicited under this specific code by state and local buyers.
