UNSPSC 50436507: Dried organic tokyo turnip

The variety of organic turnips known as organic tokyo turnip that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436507 Dried organic tokyo turnip (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The recent postings show no dried organic tokyo turnips; instead, state and local agencies are procuring dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—for institutional food service, corrections facilities, and child and adult care programs. The code appears to carry a narrow or outdated commodity descriptor that no longer aligns with current purchasing activity. Solicitations for dried beans come from correctional agencies, state departments of corrections, and state purchasing offices on behalf of institutional food service operations serving inmate populations and vulnerable populations in care programs. The scope involves bulk commodity procurement with strict specifications for grading, cleaning standards, and FDA compliance; products must be triple-cleaned to USDA No. 2 or better grades with defined moisture and foreign-material limits, palletized per specification, and delivered FOB destination within stated timelines.

Recent activity centers in Oregon and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) at a historical price of $0.493 per pound, with a combined 10 percent preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The State of Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification-sheet completion requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Statewide Procurement Division) have also posted food-supply solicitations encompassing dried beans among broader institutional food categories. No solicitations under this code specifically for dried organic tokyo turnips appear in recent postings.
