UNSPSC 50434106: Dried organic cilantro

The variety of organic herbs known as organic cilantro that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434106 Dried organic cilantro (Commodity) is tagged on dried-bean and institutional food-supply solicitations from state correctional facilities, educational food-service programs, and state procurement offices, though the recent opportunities show minimal direct procurement of cilantro itself. State and local governments procure dried legumes and packaged food staples for bulk institutional cooking — meals for incarcerated populations, child and adult care food programs, and state agency cafeterias. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and purchasing divisions (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), municipal food-service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state agencies managing nutritional or custodial operations. Dried beans dominate the recent activity: Georgia Correctional Industries sought kidney beans; Oregon Department of Corrections solicited pinto and red beans; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought multiple food products including legumes and proteins for TDCJ cafeterias. These procurement actions reflect the staple-food purchasing patterns of large institutional kitchens operating under USDA, FDA, and HACCP compliance requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West. Oregon posted two bean-specific solicitations in June and August 2026 (pinto/red beans due June 19, 2026; black beans due August 21, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), Georgia Correctional Industries posted an eRFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, Illinois solicited a quarterly food order in June 2026, and the City of Edinburg, Texas posted an RFP for CACFP meal supplies due August 4, 2026. The code shows minimal cilantro-specific recent activity; the oregano and dried-herb category appears to be categorized under the broader dried-legume and bulk food-staple purchasing pattern. Procurement activity is episodic and driven by institutional food-service cycles and inventory replenishment schedules, with lead times typically 30 to 45 days from purchase order to delivery and deliveries required FOB destination or daily service to institutional sites.
