UNSPSC 50436805: Dried organic arrowhead

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

UNSPSC 50436805 Dried organic arrowhead, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized food products for institutional meal programs, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal concrete demand. The most recent opportunities posted under 50436805 do not reflect purchases of dried organic arrowhead specifically; instead, the underlying solicitations cover broad food service categories such as dried beans (pinto and red), fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care services. State and local issuers—including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, the City of Edinburg (Texas) for a Child and Adult Care Food Program, and the State of Illinois and State of Georgia for institutional food supply—purchase food products in high volume through standing contracts and cooperative purchasing arrangements, but the code's narrow commodity definition does not map cleanly to the work actually being solicited.

The geographic footprint includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school nutrition services and corrections facilities driving most recent activity. Representative opportunities illustrate the mismatch: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for dried pinto beans and pinto-and-red-bean blends (127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds, respectively, due March 20 and June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract spanning 76-plus line items due April 27, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District solicited over 900 grocery line items for July 2026 through June 2027 delivery due April 29, 2026. None of these opportunities explicitly reference organic arrowhead as a line item or category. The code shows no market traction for the specific commodity and likely represents either a categorical misclassification in the posting systems or a product segment with negligible state and local procurement volume at present.
