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 relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried organic kudzu as a specialized agricultural product—does not align with the opportunities posted in the dataset. Of the fourteen recent solicitations tagged under this code, none request kudzu; instead, they span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, dried beans (pinto and red), school nutrition meal programs, and cafeteria food service supplies across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. The mismatch suggests either mis-tagging by issuing bodies or that kudzu procurement, if it occurs at all at the state and local level, occurs too infrequently or under different codes to appear in recent competitive notices.

The actual activity appearing under the code reflects broad-based food service contracting by school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller, Georgia), and municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School nutrition procurement dominates, with RFPs and ITBs for master grocery contracts, fresh produce, eggs, and cafeteria food products typically requiring firm fixed pricing, weekly or daily deliveries, USDA compliance, and substantial insurance coverage. Response deadlines cluster in late April through June 2026, with contract performance generally beginning in July 2026. If your firm supplies specialty dried agricultural products or organic provisions to state institutions, this code warrants close monitoring for pattern shifts; for now, pursue only if you have specific intelligence of kudzu demand from a particular issuing body.
