UNSPSC 50436850: Dried organic purslane

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

UNSPSC 50436850 Dried organic purslane, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show no purchases of dried organic purslane; instead, they document broad food service sourcing for school districts, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs acquiring staple dried goods (pinto beans, a variety of fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry items), fresh produce, and cafeteria supplies. The code's narrow commodity definition does not align with the scope of work being solicited, which spans large food-supply contracts for institutional meal services rather than specialized organic dried vegetables.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county school systems (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Fairfax County in Virginia), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Representative recent opportunities span dried legumes (Oregon DOC, two solicitations for approximately 42,500 and 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans, ITB and IFB formats, due March 20 and June 19, 2026), institutional food supply (Texas TDCJ Cafeteria Food Products, IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026), fresh produce (Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County school districts, ITB and sealed bid formats, due April 27 and April 23, 2026), and comprehensive grocery procurement (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services, due April 29, 2026; Douglas County School System food supply RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Oregon, and Missouri, with school district nutrition programs representing the highest volume of recent solicitations. The code's narrow focus on a single dried organic produce item suggests limited relevance to current procurement demand in the state and local market.
