UNSPSC 50436863: Dried organic udo

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

UNSPSC 50436863 Dried organic udo (Commodity) names a specific dried vegetable product, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of udo. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover institutional dried beans — kidney beans, pinto and red beans, and black beans — purchased by correctional departments, child nutrition programs, and state food-service operations for bulk meal preparation. The code sees activity from state departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Oregon), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and municipal child-nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Institutional food service represents the primary buying pattern, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements, bulk packaging on pallets, and FDA and HACCP compliance for high-volume feeding operations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, calling for deliveries in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification compliance (no shortcut language permitted in bids). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference premium (5% for Oregon processing, 5% for Oregon headquarters), triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 grade or better, palletized delivery to Salem within 45 days, and a historical benchmark of $0.493 per pound. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal program serving 400 children ages 1–18 daily under RFP 2026-017 due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051 (5% preference within bid for vendors within city limits). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), encompassing 382 line items including dried beans and other staples for multiple TDCJ distribution points, with mandatory pre-bid held March 26, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (udo) and actual buying activity (common dried beans for institutional food service) signals limited relevance of this specific commodity code to typical market activity.
