UNSPSC 50436835: Dried organic kudzu

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

UNSPSC 50436835 Dried organic kudzu, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct market activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block names no solicitations for dried organic kudzu specifically; instead, the code's recent-activity record captures institutional food procurement for bulk beans and kitchen staples across correctional, educational, and child-care settings. Georgia Correctional Industries, the State of Oregon, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state agencies, and the City of Edinburg, Texas have all posted bids for dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red varieties), dried food products, and cafeteria supplies in the past five months. These procurements reflect the institutional demand pattern the code nominally addresses — bulk, triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried legumes suitable for large-scale meal preparation and long-term storage in correctional facilities, schools, and social-service food programs. However, the source contains no actual solicitations for the specific product (dried organic kudzu); the code appears to have been applied to broader dried-legume or institutional-food categories in the state and local system.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon has posted two recent bids — one from the State of Oregon and one from the Oregon Department of Corrections, both for dried beans due in June and August 2026 — and Georgia has issued multiple bids through Correctional Industries and the statewide procurement office. Texas and Illinois have also posted food-product bids serving institutional meal programs. No market concentration among issuing bodies emerges; opportunities span state departments, correctional agencies, and municipal child-care programs. The mismatch between the code name and the actual recent opportunities suggests that dried organic kudzu either sees insufficient recent activity to populate the opportunities block or has been incorrectly tagged within the taxonomy. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the accuracy of the classification with issuing procurement offices before committing bid resources; the code's nominal scope may not align with how state and local buying offices are currently tagging and soliciting comparable products.
