UNSPSC 50436804: Dried organic arrow root

The type of organic vegetable known as organic arrow root that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436804 Dried organic arrow root, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried botanical product, but no recent state or local solicitations identified in the available opportunities target dried organic arrow root specifically or as a line item. The recent opportunities tagged under or near this code encompass broad food supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care services—procurement families that include proteins, grains, vegetables, dried beans, fresh produce, dairy, and miscellaneous staple items, but do not isolate or emphasize dried arrow root as a distinct procurement focus.

Geographic and issuing-body activity centers on school districts and state agencies across the South and upper Midwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto and red beans twice since March 2026 (ITB S-29100-00016233 in March and S2910000017140 in June, both due in late June with response deadlines closed). School districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia—including Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (bid due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School System in Georgia (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026)—have posted broad grocery and produce solicitations. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited child care food program supplies (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026), and the State of Georgia and Illinois have posted general food supply bids (Georgia PE55220NONST2026000000029 and PE55645NONST2026000000009; Illinois FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). None of these opportunities names dried arrow root as a specification or line item, suggesting the code does not represent active procurement under this taxonomy at the state and local level currently.
