UNSPSC 50422002: Dried broccoli romanesco

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

UNSPSC 50422002 Dried broccoli romanesco is a Commodity code that captures specialty vegetable procurement by state and local agencies supporting child nutrition, correctional, and school food service programs. The code shows minimal direct activity; the most recent opportunities tagged under it involve broader dried-vegetable and fresh-produce solicitations where dried broccoli romanesco would be a line item among dozens or hundreds of other food categories rather than a standalone procurement focus. State and local buyers are sourcing dried broccoli romanesco as part of larger grocery, produce, and meal-service contracts serving school districts, correctional facilities, and child-care nutrition programs, where the commodity is competing for shelf space and budget allocation alongside conventional dried vegetables, grains, proteins, and prepared entrees.

Recent activity spans school districts in Virginia, Missouri, and Georgia; state correctional and child-nutrition agencies in Texas, Illinois, and Oregon; and county school systems in Georgia, all of which are building annual or multi-year contracts for comprehensive food supply across multiple categories. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) covering 76-plus grocery items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (response due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, grains, and prepared foods; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Cafeteria Food Products solicitation (IFB 304T26300CF, response due May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (response due February 18, 2026) estimating $9 million annual spend to supply 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools. The code shows no standout repeat procurement patterns specific to dried broccoli romanesco as a differentiated product line, indicating the commodity is purchased as part of undifferentiated vegetable assortment within larger meal-service and grocery contracts rather than as a specialized procurement target.
