UNSPSC 50436842: Dried organic mallows

The type of organic vegetable known as organic mallows that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436842 Dried organic mallows, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity under its specific taxonomy — the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and municipal child care programs, but dried mallows appear in only one solicitation explicitly. Instead, the recent activity shows that state and local governments buy dried legumes (pinto beans, red beans) and fresh produce under related food-supply codes, suggesting that dried commodity ingredients like mallows are typically procured as line items within broader grocery or food-service contracts rather than as standalone solicitations. The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Illinois state government, State of Georgia), municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and county systems (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County in Georgia). Repeat buyers include Georgia school districts (three separate produce and food-supply RFPs from late February through late March 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (two separate dried-bean procurements in March and June 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest — Texas (Edinburg municipal child care, TDCJ via state procurement, Comptroller-administered contracts), Georgia (four school district RFPs across two months), Oregon (ODOC dried-bean buys), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood School District) represent the bulk of recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, requiring triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 or better grade beans with FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days and a historical benchmark price of $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF (response deadline May 4, 2026) seeking 382 line items of proteins, grains, dairy, and staples across five Texas warehouse regions; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (bid due April 27, 2026) for food delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly service and a minimum of 76 line-item bids required for responsiveness. Dried mallows as a distinct commodity line item do not surface prominently in available solicitation language; firms should verify actual demand under this code by examining full RFP attachments (particularly Georgia state and school district documents flagged as PDF uploads) and by direct outreach to purchasing contacts at state correctional and school nutrition programs.
