UNSPSC 50433901: Dried organic angled loofah

The variety of organic gourds known as organic angled loofah that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433901 Dried organic angled loofah, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried organic loofah products—does not match the institutional food-procurement opportunities currently being solicited under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code are predominantly for dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), breakfast and cafeteria food products, and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are the primary issuing bodies, alongside the City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois. The work being solicited consists of bulk institutional food sourcing for correctional facilities, state warehouses, and youth meal programs—a commodity family entirely distinct from cleaning or spa products. Bidders responding to opportunities under this code are pricing all-inclusive delivery to institutional distribution centers, complying with USDA grading standards, and meeting food-safety certifications (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice).

The recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia and Oregon representing the largest share of visible solicitations as of mid-2026, followed by Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) requested dried black beans triple-cleaned to USDA standards for institutional cooking; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covered approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five Texas geographic areas with FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026. The City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) covered five categories of food and nonfood supplies for CACFP service to approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code, as currently tagged, represents a classification mismatch rather than an active commodity family for dried loofah products in state and local procurement.
