UNSPSC 50436115: Dried organic water spinach

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

UNSPSC 50436115 Dried organic water spinach is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The source documents thirteen recent solicitations spanning food service across state agencies, school districts, and municipal child nutrition programs; only two—the Oregon Department of Corrections bids for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026)—involve dried legumes at all, and neither specifies organic water spinach. The broader cluster of opportunities reflects demand for fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, grains, and staple grocery items to support school nutrition programs, corrections facility meal service, and child care food programs, but dried organic water spinach does not appear in any of the representative recent solicitations.

State and local procurement under the broader food-supply categories does span multiple issuing bodies: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller), multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, the City of Edinburg in Texas, and the State of Illinois. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, with isolated solicitations in Illinois. The dried pinto and red beans procurement from ODOC (127,500 pounds, $0.43 per pound historical pricing from August 2025) represents the closest analog to the code's scope, but dried organic water spinach itself does not surface in recent notices. Code 50436115 appears to have no current state and local procurement momentum; monitoring should focus on whether correction systems or institutional food service programs begin sourcing specialty dried vegetables, which currently shows no documented activity.
