UNSPSC 50436860: Dried organic tendergreen

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

UNSPSC 50436860 Dried organic tendergreen is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agency cafeterias — where dried beans and legumes support bulk meal preparation and nutritional compliance. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are purchasing dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties) in large quantities, often with specifications for triple cleaning, USDA grading standards, and compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies, city-level child and adult care programs, and specialized procurement divisions within state departments of corrections. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (procured through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), and the City of Edinburg, Texas are recent active buyers under this code family.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the highest concentration in the South and Pacific Northwest. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing (due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors (due June 19, 2026), and the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (due August 4, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple distribution points via IFB through the Comptroller of Public Accounts (response extended to May 4, 2026). Contracts typically specify FOB destination delivery, palletization standards, minimum shelf-life requirements, and compliance certification; pricing is firm and all-inclusive with no separate line-item reimbursement for freight or surcharges.
