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 purchasing activity in the recent opportunities block. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly procure other dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs rather than dried organic purslane. State agencies, county correctional systems, and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies. The scope of work comprises bulk dried beans for meal preparation in cafeteria and institutional cooking operations, typically specified to USDA grading standards (U.S. No. 2 or better), triple-cleaned to remove foreign material and debris, with moisture-content and defect limits defined in technical specifications. Deliveries are FOB destination in bulk quantities—ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds—palletized and delivered to central distribution centers or foodservice points within 30 to 45 days of purchase order issuance. Pricing is all-inclusive of freight, fuel surcharges, and handling, with no separate reimbursement for transportation or ancillary fees.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois based on recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products including dried beans across five Texas geographic areas (originally due April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026); Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026); and the State of Oregon sought dried black beans, triple-cleaned (due August 21, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois also posted food supply solicitations in the same period. This code shows mismatch with its nominal commodity name and should be monitored as a signal of low specificity or cataloging drift in state and local procurement systems.
