UNSPSC 50436840: Dried organic lotus root

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

UNSPSC 50436840 Dried organic lotus root is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried organic lotus root. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover school nutrition programs, correctional facility food service, and child care meal programs—all acquiring broad grocery and produce categories including dried beans, fresh produce, milk, proteins, and general food supplies rather than specialized organic botanicals. The one opportunity explicitly naming a dried product—the Oregon Department of Corrections' bids for dried pinto and red beans—does not specify organic certification or lotus root. State and local food-service buyers are sourcing commodity-level dried legumes and fresh produce through open competitive bids, but no evidence of demand for dried organic lotus root specifically appears in the recent activity block.

This code does not show actionable procurement opportunity at this time. Buyers soliciting under related dried-goods and produce categories are acquiring mainstream agricultural commodities (pinto beans, produce, grains, proteins) with established supplier networks and price benchmarks. If your firm supplies dried organic lotus root or specialized organic botanicals, monitor school districts, correctional agencies, and child nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia for any future sustainability or organic-sourcing initiatives that might expand the aperture beyond conventional commodity procurement. Current activity does not support a pursuit strategy.
