UNSPSC 50436102: Dried organic bloomsdale spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic bloomsdale spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436102 Dried organic bloomsdale spinach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses institutional procurement of dried legumes and bulk food staples for correctional facilities, food-service programs, and state agencies rather than the specific spinach variety the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code include corrections departments, state purchasing offices, city food-service programs, and school districts. The scope of work reflects bulk institutional food procurement: the Georgia Department of Corrections Industries issued an RFQ (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) for triple-cleaned dried black beans meeting USDA grading standards; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB (304T26300CF, response date extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments for distribution across five Texas warehouse locations. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP (RFP2026017, due August 11, 2026) for food and nonfood items supporting a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference applied under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5 percent of lowest price. The State of Illinois also solicited weekly food orders for the July–September quarter (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026).

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Georgia and Oregon have each issued multiple dried-legume solicitations in the past five months, with Oregon emphasizing triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards and offering a combined 10 percent evaluation preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Texas state agencies are active, with the TDCJ procurement spanning multiple distribution points and the Edinburg CACFP program requiring daily Monday–Friday deliveries before noon to support approximately 400 children. Georgia Correctional Industries specifies all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement and requires complete specification-sheet documentation without abbreviations or compliance shortcuts; violation results in bid rejection. Oregon Department of Corrections specifies FOB destination to Salem within 45 days of purchase order receipt on palletized loads not exceeding 2,500 pounds per pallet, with a historical price point of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA in August 2025. Texas TDCJ cafeteria procurement requires firm, all-inclusive pricing submitted on mandatory price sheets with grade certificates and delivery to six Texas distribution points within 30 days of order, subject to a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee and 30-day payment terms under Texas Government Code Chapter 2251.
