UNSPSC 50434704: Dried organic eddoes malanga

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

UNSPSC 50434704 Dried organic eddoes malanga is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty root-vegetable products, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent alignment with that scope. The most-recent opportunities posted against dried-bean codes and institutional food-supply solicitations — including dried black beans, pinto and red beans, and kidney beans for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies — reflect purchasing of commodity dried legumes for bulk institutional cooking rather than malanga or other tropical root vegetables. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), state agencies purchasing on behalf of multiple locations, school districts and meal-program operators (City of Edinburg, Texas for a Child and Adult Care Food Program), and state institutional-use procurement offices (Oregon Department of Agriculture cooperative purchasing framework).

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with opportunities posted through June and October 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T26300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, dairy, grains, canned goods, condiments) across five TDCJ warehouse geographic areas, with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum to May 4, 2026); the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 posted October 2, 2026, solicits kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, all-inclusive of freight; and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, with Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarters evaluation preferences of 5% each. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried malanga or organic specialty root vegetables — the mismatch suggests either categorization drift or sparse procurement demand for that product under this code in state and local markets.
