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 is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried legumes and specialty produce items for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance. The opportunities posted between January and July 2026 reflect a mismatch: the code nominal scope targets dried organic purple top milan turnips specifically, yet the recent state and local solicitations soliciting under or near this code predominantly cover broad-based fresh produce, fresh-frozen vegetables, dried pinto and red beans, cafeteria proteins and staples, and child nutrition program supplies. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto beans (approximately 127,500 pounds in March 2026 and approximately 42,500 pounds in June 2026, both due in June at $0.43 per pound historical pricing), representing the only recent activity aligned to dried-goods procurement under institutional food service. State and local issuing bodies — school districts, state departments of corrections, county school systems, state transportation and food service operations, and municipal child-care authorities — solicit food supply broadly across multiple channels rather than targeting narrowly coded dried-organic-turnip procurement.

Geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District), Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP program, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (state IVHQ quarterly food order). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division, the largest repeat buyer for dried-goods procurement in the source material, awarded previous pinto bean contracts at $0.43 per pound in August 2025 and permits Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders a combined 10 percent evaluation preference. The code shows little active solicitation specifically targeting dried organic purple top milan turnips; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should treat recent activity as sparse and monitor for drift toward broader dried-legume or specialty-produce categories where institutional food-service procurement concentrates.
