UNSPSC 50436105: Dried organic iceplant spinach

The variety of organic new zrealand spinach known as organic iceplant spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436105 Dried organic iceplant spinach (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code itself names a specific produce item—dried organic iceplant spinach—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code procure dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), cafeteria food products for correctional and institutional settings, and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies. State and local buyers using this code are purchasing bulk dried legumes and institutional food staples for correctional facilities, state agencies, and public meal programs, not the dried organic iceplant spinach the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections and purchasing divisions (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas), city governments (Edinburg, Texas), and state educational or institutional food service programs, reflecting the institutional scale and regulatory compliance demands of public sector food procurement.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation (June 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, delivered FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-manufactured and Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical benchmark price of $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic regions (May 2026, response extended to May 4, 2026), encompassing 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments with delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations; Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (October 2026, due October 9, 2026), all-inclusive delivery pricing with strict specification-sheet formatting requirements; and the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies for approximately 400 children daily (August 2026), with local-vendor preference under Texas law, daily Monday-Friday deliveries before noon, and evaluation weighted toward cost at 30% and qualifications, technical approach, and menu quality at 20-25% each. The code shows no relevant recent activity for its stated product—dried organic iceplant spinach does not appear in any of the recent solicitations. Bidders evaluating this code should treat the tag as a data-entry error and instead track actual institutional food procurement codes that align with dried legume and bulk cafeteria supply solicitations.
