UNSPSC 50436500: Dried organic turnip greens

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

UNSPSC 50436500 Dried organic turnip greens is a Class code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The four opportunities posted under this code since May 2026 involve dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), multi-category food-service procurement (beverages, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments), and bulk food supplies for institutional meal programs—none of which involve turnip greens or other leafy green vegetables. Georgia Correctional Industries, the State of Oregon, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the City of Edinburg Texas, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all issued RFQs or IFBs under this code, but the work being solicited is dried legumes and institutional food products for correctional facilities, state agencies, and school-based meal programs, not dried greens.

The geographic spread spans Oregon (two separate dried-bean procurements from state corrections and state purchasing), Georgia (two food-supply solicitations from corrections industries and general state purchasing), Texas (child-and-adult-care meal program supply and TDCJ cafeteria products), and Illinois (weekly food order for a state institutional program). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products covering 382 line items across multiple food categories (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026), the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies serving 400 children daily (proposals due August 4, 2026), and Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for its nominal commodity; procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this category.
