UNSPSC 50436508: Dried organic tokyo cross turnips

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

UNSPSC 50436508 Dried organic tokyo cross turnips is a Commodity code covering specialty dried vegetables for institutional food service. The recent opportunities in the source block, however, show little activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, state and local purchasing offices are actively soliciting dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney beans—for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and institutional kitchens. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are the primary repeat buyers, each seeking large volumes of dried legumes to support meal programs serving incarcerated populations and vulnerable populations in care settings. The work involves bulk procurement of food products meeting USDA grading standards, FDA compliance, and food-safety certifications; bidders must deliver product suitable for institutional cooking in specified increments or quantities, often with triple-cleaning requirements to remove debris and contaminants.

The code sees activity across Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted solicitations in June 2026 (S2910000017140, pinto and red beans, 42,500 pounds, bids due June 19, 2026) and in August 2026 (S2910000017705, dried black beans, triple-cleaned, bids due August 21, 2026), both with Oregon production and headquarters preferences built into evaluation. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans (880-bag increments, bids due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance rules. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables for distribution across five geographic areas (original response due April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal-program supplies serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and daily delivery requirements. The source shows no opportunities directly matching the code's stated scope of dried organic tokyo cross turnips; recent procurement activity clusters around commodity dried beans and broader institutional food supplies.
