UNSPSC 50436868: Dried organic yuca

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

UNSPSC 50436868 Dried organic yuca, a Commodity code, sits at the intersection of institutional food procurement and specialty ingredient sourcing for state and local agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and public meal programs. The recent solicitations posted under this code reveal a procurement landscape dominated by dried legumes and bulk staple foods for institutional kitchens and meal services rather than yuca specifically; Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are all actively procuring dried beans (kidney beans, pinto, red, and black beans) in volumes ranging from thousands of bags to tens of thousands of pounds. These solicitations span RFQs and IFBs with response dates from June through October 2026, and all demand compliance with USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning or equivalent food-safety certifications, and bulk-institutional delivery specifications including palletization, FOB destination terms, and fuel-inclusive pricing. The code also captures broader food-supply procurement such as the City of Edinburg, Texas's Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal-service RFP covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, fruits, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products for 400 children daily.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia (two solicitations), Texas (two), and Oregon (two) driving recent volume. The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response deadline and a 10% evaluation preference (5% Oregon processing, 5% Oregon headquarters) is representative of the standing institutional demand; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products covering 382 line items with an extended May 4, 2026 response deadline and delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas illustrates the scale and complexity of corrections procurement in the region. Georgia Correctional Industries' kidney-bean RFQ with an October 9, 2026 deadline requiring 880-bag increments and all-inclusive delivery pricing, and the State of Oregon's June 21, 2026 black-beans solicitation for institutional use, show recurring annual or quarterly refresh cycles. No opportunities in the source directly name dried organic yuca; the code's recent posting activity appears misaligned with the commodity name and reflects broader state and local procurement of dried legumes and institutional food staples.
