UNSPSC 50436857: Dried organic taro leaf

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

UNSPSC 50436857 Dried organic taro leaf is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect organic taro-leaf procurement. Instead, the code shows institutional procurement of dried legumes — kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and mixed bean products — for correctional facilities, child care food programs, and state institutional kitchens. The scope of work comprises bulk dried-bean supply for meal preparation, with vendors supplying triple-cleaned product meeting USDA grading standards, delivered in volume quantities (from 880-bag increments to 42,500 pounds) on all-inclusive, FOB-destination pricing that covers transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery fees without separate line-item charges.

State and local issuing bodies include the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), the City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois. Recent representative opportunities span Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, kidney beans, due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (bid S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation add-on), Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ (IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension), and the City of Edinburg (RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal-program supplies including beverages, paper goods, proteins, and janitorial items, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with institutional food-service procurement the dominant demand driver.
