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 is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code appears in state and local procurement systems, but the recent opportunities posted under or near this code do not reflect procurement of dried organic rutabagas or similar specialty dried-vegetable commodities. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover broad food-service categories—fresh produce, cafeteria food products, grocery items for school nutrition programs, and dried beans for correctional facilities—that fall far outside the dried-organic-rutabaga product line. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the general food-service work actually being solicited suggests either a classification error in the opportunities database or minimal real-world procurement volume under this specific code.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states. School districts in Georgia (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Texas (City of Edinburg) are the dominant buyers, along with state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia. These jurisdictions solicit food-service contracts regularly—fresh produce (Muscogee County ITB 26-017 due April 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026), cafeteria food products (Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF extended to May 4, 2026), grocery items (Rockwood R-VI and Fairfax County Public Schools), and dried beans for institutional use (Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017140 due June 19, 2026 and S2910000016233 due March 20, 2026). Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri), Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Texas. If procurement of dried organic rutabagas occurs at state and local levels, it is not represented in recent publicly posted solicitations.
