UNSPSC 50435701: Dried organic acme rutabagas

The variety of organic rutabagas known as organic acme rutabagas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435701 Dried organic acme rutabagas, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities filed under this code involve dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — procured for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and institutional meal services, rather than the specific rutabaga product the code nominally describes. State and local governments buying under this code pursue dried legumes and bulk food staples for institutional kitchen operations at correctional industries, child care facilities, state agencies, and educational institutions. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, county correctional industries programs, and municipal child and adult care operators. The procurement typically specifies USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, food-safety compliance, palletization, and bulk quantities suitable for institutional cooking.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline, applying a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders and a historical price reference of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with an October 9, 2026 deadline; and the State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order for July through September 2026 with a June 26 deadline. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and produce to supply five geographic warehouse areas statewide, with the response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas posted an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal items serving approximately 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and an August 11, 2026 deadline. The code itself shows limited activity aligned with its nominal scope; recent postings are heavily weighted toward dried beans rather than dried rutabagas, suggesting either broad misclassification or very sparse demand for the specific commodity.
