UNSPSC 50436814: Dried organic caperberries

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

UNSPSC 50436814 Dried organic caperberries is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent relevance—the most recent opportunities posted do not reflect caperberries procurement. Instead, the tagged solicitations center on bulk dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) for institutional food service, cafeteria supply, and correctional-facility meal programs. The actual buying pattern under this code identifier reflects institutional food procurement for state agencies, correctional departments, school districts, and municipal food-service programs serving hundreds of daily meals. State and local governments under this code are sourcing dried legumes and bulk food staples for high-volume, standardized meal preparation in custody, education, and public-facility settings rather than specialty or organic produce items.

Recent activity spans Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney beans, 880-bag increments, RFQ posted October 2, 2026 with response due October 9, 2026), the City of Edinburg, Texas (Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service for 400 children daily, RFP 2026-017 posted August 11, 2026), the State of Oregon (dried black beans, triple-cleaned, posted August 7, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, posted June 5, 2026 with response due June 19, 2026), the State of Illinois (weekly food orders under FY-27 IVHQ, posted June 18, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (cafeteria food products including proteins, dairy, and staples across multiple warehouse locations, IFB posted May 4, 2026 with response extended to May 4, 2026). The issuing-body mix reflects primarily state correctional and food-service agencies with municipal participation. Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with activity also in other state correctional and institutional food programs. The code shows significant recent activity driven by institutional demand but a mismatch between the nominal commodity (dried organic caperberries) and what is actually being bought (standard dried legumes for mass meal service).
