UNSPSC 50434702: Dried organic blanca malanga

The variety of organic malanga known as organic blanca malanga that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434702 Dried organic blanca malanga is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialized tuber products; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchasing aligned with that specification. Instead, the opportunities posted carry titles and scopes for dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), cafeteria food products, and general institutional food supplies. The issuing bodies include state correctional and educational departments, municipal governments, and state agencies procuring for institutional meal programs. Work being solicited spans bulk dried-bean procurement for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and institutional kitchen supply chains, typically with specifications requiring USDA-grade compliance, triple-cleaning standards, and palletized delivery to central distribution points.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans (880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children over nine months (due August 4, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans with a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation (due June 19, 2026, at $0.493 per pound historical pricing); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations covering 382 line items from proteins to condiments with FOB Destination delivery to six distribution points (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2); and the State of Oregon requested dried black beans triple-cleaned to USDA standards for institutional use (due August 21, 2026). The code exhibits material mismatch between its nominal commodity definition and current procurement activity, which centers on beans and general food supply rather than malanga products.
