UNSPSC 50436100: Dried organic spinaches

The type of organic vegetable known as organic spinaches that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436100 Dried organic spinaches, a Class code, covers bulk dried legumes and related produce items for institutional food service — though recent state and local solicitations show the actual buying activity spans dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties), not spinaches specifically. State corrections departments, educational institutions, and municipal food programs procure these items in bulk quantities for cafeteria operations, meal programs, and institutional cooking. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg all appear in recent bids. Solicitations typically specify USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements to remove debris and foreign material, moisture-content limits, and packaging on pallets or in bulk bags. Delivery is FOB destination, all-inclusive of freight and fuel surcharges, with daily or scheduled fulfillment to central distribution points. Specification sheets are detailed and binding; bidders who use shortcuts such as checkmarks, "comply," or "same" face disqualification.

Procurement activity under this code concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (880-bag increments, all-inclusive pricing); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering diverse protein, grain, and staple items for six distribution points across five geographic regions. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a 5% price tolerance for vendors within city limits. The State of Oregon and State of Georgia each posted additional dried-bean solicitations in June and May 2026. Recent opportunities reflect sustained demand for bulk institutional food procurement tied to correctional operations, school feeding programs, and municipal meal services.
