UNSPSC 50436833: Dried organic horseradish

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

UNSPSC 50436833 Dried organic horseradish is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no activity aligned with dried horseradish procurement. Instead, the tagged opportunities solicit dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—and broader cafeteria or institutional food products for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. The code appears misapplied across these solicitations, as the work actually being bought is dried legume staples and bulk institutional food supply, not horseradish. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state correctional systems (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The opportunities reflect institutional food service procurement at scale—weekly or quarterly orders for prison cafeterias, child care meal programs, and warehouse distribution networks.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026 under IFB S2910000017705, priced historically at $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with an RFQ due October 9, 2026 (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried legumes, proteins, and staples via IFB 304T26300CF with responses due May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies—including beverages, paper goods, proteins, and food products—with a local-vendor preference of 5% under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. These solicitations show no horseradish-specific demand; the code mismatch signals either a cataloging error or that this Commodity code receives little genuine horseradish procurement from state and local buyers.
