UNSPSC 50436802: Dried organic aloe leaves

The type of organic vegetable known as organic aloe leaves that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436802 Dried organic aloe leaves, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—organic aloe leaf products—does not match the institutional food procurement opportunities appearing in the recent-opportunities block, which instead catalog dried beans, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and other staple food items for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, and the City of Edinburg, Texas have all posted solicitations for dried beans, institutional cafeteria products, and bulk food supplies over the past four months, but none reference aloe leaves or botanical supplements. The code exhibits no relevant recent activity.

The mismatch between the code's name and the actual goods being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that aloe-leaf procurement does not currently represent a material activity line for state and local government buyers. Practitioners pursuing state and local food-service contracts should verify code assignment in each RFP, RFQ, or IFB they encounter, as institutional food procurement typically falls under broader commodity codes for dried legumes, fresh and processed vegetables, proteins, and miscellaneous food supplies rather than specialized botanical or supplement categories.
