UNSPSC 50436838: Dried organic lo bok

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

UNSPSC 50436838 Dried organic lo bok, a Commodity code, shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains six entries, yet none directly solicit dried lo bok; instead, they cover kidney beans (Georgia Correctional Industries), black beans and pinto/red beans (Oregon Department of Corrections and Oregon state agencies), CACFP meal program ingredients including fresh vegetables and proteins (City of Edinburg, Texas), institutional food supplies (State of Illinois IVHQ quarterly food orders), and cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and produce (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division). The code appears to have been tagged to these opportunities as part of a broader institutional food procurement taxonomy rather than reflecting actual demand for dried lo bok specifically.

State and local procurement under this code—where present—flows primarily through institutional meal programs, correctional facilities, and child nutrition initiatives in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The issuing bodies include state corrections and agriculture departments, municipal food program administrators, and purchasing divisions on behalf of criminal justice and child care operations. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans (880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food IFB 304T26300CF for multi-category institutional food supplies (extended due date May 4, 2026). The code shows no active recent opportunity explicitly soliciting dried organic lo bok; pursuit under this code should be deferred until activity realigns to the commodity's actual scope or demand emerges in state and local RFPs.
