UNSPSC 50422001: Dried broccolini

The variety of broccoli known as broccolini that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422001 Dried broccolini, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code show minimal direct relevance to dried broccolini itself. The code appears in the context of broader school nutrition and correctional food service solicitations where dried broccolini would be one line item among hundreds in vegetable procurement, but the indexed opportunities focus on comprehensive grocery supply contracts, fresh produce, dried beans, and institutional meal programs rather than specialty dried vegetables as a standalone category. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, Child and Adult Care Food Program). These entities buy food on regular cycles, typically annual or multi-year contracts, for breakfast, lunch, and snack service to student and incarcerated populations.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia (multiple school districts soliciting fresh produce and food supply under RFPs and ITBs in February through May 2026), Texas (City of Edinburg and TDCJ cafeteria food procurement in May–August 2026), Oregon (Department of Corrections dried beans procurement in March and June 2026), Missouri (Rockwood School District grocery items, April 2026), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, April 2026). Representative opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response due April 27, 2026) spanning 76+ grocery line items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items RFP (April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for July 2026–June 2027 school-year service, and the Oregon Department of Corrections Beans ITB (June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, which demonstrates that dried commodity procurement does occur but remains bundled within larger food service contracts rather than solicited as standalone dried-vegetable categories. The code shows limited standalone activity as a discrete procurement vehicle; dried broccolini appears incidentally within comprehensive food service vendor agreements rather than as a targeted procurement line.
