UNSPSC 50434116: Dried organic papalo

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

UNSPSC 50434116 Dried organic papalo (Commodity) covers organic dried herbs and leafy ingredients for institutional food service and meal programs, but recent state and local opportunities show little alignment with this specific code. The recent solicitations posted under this code instead focus on dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto/red beans — procured for correctional facilities, state agencies, school districts, and child care programs. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections and procurement, state agencies, city and county nutrition programs, and institutional food-service operators. The work involves sourcing dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance, and bulk institutional cooking specifications, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and compliance with FDA, USDA HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined Oregon-business preference and a historical price of $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon separately solicited dried black beans triple-cleaned (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting requirements. The Texas Comptroller procured cafeteria food products including dried legume components for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic areas (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026 as extended). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food items including dried beans and proteins for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows material recent activity but centers on dried beans rather than the organic papalo specified in the code name, indicating a potential source-data classification mismatch.
