UNSPSC 50421909: Dried chioggia beets

The variety of beets known as chioggia beets that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50421909 Dried chioggia beets, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity specific to this item. The single recent opportunity naming dried chioggia beets directly—or any closely related dried-beet product—does not appear in the source records. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food-service solicitations in which dried beets may be one line item among hundreds, if present at all. The City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal service (due August 4, 2026) lists vegetables generically within a five-category food scope; the Illinois state quarterly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) specifies brand or equivalent products without naming specific dried vegetables; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017140 solicits 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans but not chioggia beets; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026) spans approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, dairy, and canned and fresh vegetables without itemizing dried chioggia beets. School districts and state foodservice operations are the issuing bodies most active in this taxonomy layer, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia).

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with school nutrition programs and state correctional facilities as the principal buyers. However, the code itself—dried chioggia beets specifically—does not anchor any publicly posted opportunity in the recent record. The opportunities shown span fresh produce, general grocery items, dried beans (pinto and red, not chioggia), and cafeteria food products for K-12 schools, state prisons, and child-care programs. Vendors seeking to pursue business under this UNSPSC code should recognize that state and local procurement offices rarely solicit dried chioggia beets as a discrete line item; instead, they bundle such specialty vegetables into broader dried-goods or produce categories negotiated with primary food distributors. Direct pursuit of opportunities tagged to 50421909 is unlikely to yield closed bids; engagement with regional food distributors serving school districts and correctional systems remains the more practical route to market access.
