UNSPSC 50436504: Dried organic purple top milan turnips

The variety of organic turnips known as organic purple top milan turnips that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436504 Dried organic purple top milan turnips (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source shows six recent opportunities, none of which solicit dried organic purple top milan turnips; instead, the opportunities procure kidney beans (Georgia Correctional Industries), child and adult care food program meal components including beverages, proteins, breads, fruits, and vegetables (City of Edinburg, Texas), dried black beans and dried pinto and red beans for institutional use (State of Oregon and Oregon Department of Corrections), general cafeteria food products across multiple categories (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a quarterly weekly food order (State of Illinois). The code nominally names a single vegetable commodity, but the tagged opportunities span broad institutional food procurement across proteins, legumes, dairy, grains, produce, and nonfood kitchen supplies. This mismatch signals that the code either captures institutional bulk food procurement more broadly than its name suggests, or that the opportunities are miscoded relative to the commodity designation.

Issuing bodies include state correctional and food-service agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and local municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with response dates ranging from June through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations, extended to May 4, 2026. Procurement activity is driven by institutional food-service operations and bulk supply chains rather than fresh-produce or specialty-vegetable sourcing.
