UNSPSC 50436831: Dried organic gobo

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

UNSPSC 50436831 Dried organic gobo, a Commodity code, does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under or near this code — Georgia Correctional Industries' kidney beans solicitation (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), Oregon's dried black beans triple-cleaned (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections' dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) — show that state and local governments procure mainstream dried legumes in bulk for institutional food service and correctional feeding programs, not specialty organic gobo root. The code's nominal scope diverges sharply from what is actually being bought. State correctional agencies, educational institutions, and child nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, purchasing dried beans by the ton for meal preparation, dietary compliance, and budget efficiency. All three dried-bean solicitations emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications, FDA compliance, and bulk delivery in palletized or bag increments to central distribution centers or institutional kitchens.

The geographic spread concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois based on the recent opportunities. Georgia Correctional Industries and Georgia's general food-supplies procurement (IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) drive activity in that state; Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Oregon's institutional procurement account for two separate dried-bean bids in June and August 2026; Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a large cafeteria food-products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) covering 382 line items across five geographic areas and multiple distribution points. Illinois State government solicited weekly food orders (FY-27 IVHQ quarterly procurement, due June 26, 2026) with no contract value disclosed. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to organic gobo; procurement professionals should monitor dried-legume and institutional bulk-food categories under related UNSPSC codes if pursuing state correctional, educational, or child-nutrition food-service contracts.
