UNSPSC 50436104: Dried organic horenso spinach

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

UNSPSC 50436104 Dried organic horenso spinach (Commodity) covers specialized produce items stocked for institutional food service, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct dried spinach solicitations. Instead, the opportunities tagged to it involve overlapping institutional food procurement — dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black), food products for correctional and school meal programs, and cafeteria staples for criminal justice and child-care facilities. The code nominally describes a specific dried vegetable commodity, yet the recent record reflects broader dried-legume and institutional-food-service procurement that state agencies, correctional systems, and school districts are actively buying in volume. Issuing bodies include the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, City of Edinburg Texas, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of institutional meal operations. The mismatch between the code's specific name and the actual solicitation activity suggests either broad-scope tagging or a data-classification issue; dried spinach may fall under this code but does not appear in recent state and local opportunities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with the most recent volume opportunities in Texas and Oregon. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of TDCJ) issued IFB 304T26300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments across multiple TDCJ distribution points, with a response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10 percent Oregon-based supplier preference and FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ in October 2026 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags, due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive pricing and electronic submission required. The City of Edinburg issued RFP 2026017 in August 2026 for CACFP meal program supplies to serve approximately 400 children daily, with Texas local-vendor preference applied to qualifying bids. Institutional food procurement under this code tier shows steady activity but with little direct visibility into dried organic spinach demand specifically.
