UNSPSC 50436505: Dried organic purple top white turnips

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

UNSPSC 50436505 Dried organic purple top white turnips, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this designation. The recent opportunities posted against this code span dried beans of various types—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—sourced for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state agencies, and child care programs, rather than turnips or turnip products. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all appear in the record as active buyers of dried legumes in bulk quantities suitable for institutional meal preparation, delivered under strict USDA grading and food-safety standards with delivery windows measured in days to weeks.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried beans in June and August 2026 (S2910000017705 and S2910000017140, due August 21 and June 19 respectively), requesting triple-cleaned product meeting U.S. No. 2 grade standards with Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarter preferences applied at 5 percent each for evaluation; the June solicitation for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans referenced a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for 880-bag kidney bean increments due October 9, 2026 (92100ERFQ0020612027), requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal-program supplies including dried legumes among five supply categories for 400 children daily, due August 4, 2026 (RFP2026017), with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of dried turnips.
