UNSPSC 50435003: Dried organic naranjilla

The variety of organic nightshades known as organic naranjilla that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435003 Dried organic naranjilla is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty dried fruit products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the narrow naranjilla specification. The recent opportunities data reveals solicitations for staple dried legumes — kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans — procured by state correctional departments, state food-distribution agencies, and child nutrition programs. The work being solicited is institutional bulk procurement of commodity dried proteins and vegetables for meal preparation in correctional facilities, schools, and care programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice or institutional-use customers, municipalities operating child-nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state procurement offices. The code shows limited activity and apparent mismatch between its stated scope (dried organic naranjilla) and what is actually being bought (standard dried beans and legumes).

Recent solicitations appear concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid on approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026), with a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound and a combined 10% Oregon-source preference applied at evaluation. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive, freight-included pricing required. The State of Oregon also bid dried black beans, triple-cleaned to USDA standards (RFQ S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply covering beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies for approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and daily delivery before noon required. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with an extended response due date of May 4, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that this Commodity code may be misapplied to legume and staple-food solicitations in state and local systems.
