UNSPSC 50422500: Dried carrots

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

UNSPSC 50422500 Dried carrots, a Class code, represents a narrow commodity within state and local food procurement that sees limited direct solicitation activity. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show little relevant purchasing — the posting activity includes school district and correctional facility food supply solicitations tagged to related dried-vegetable or general grocery categories, but none expressly specify dried carrots as a line item or primary focus. School districts, county school systems, correctional agencies, and state departments do procure dried vegetables as components of broader food service contracts, but dried carrots emerge as an incidental item within larger produce, grocery, or foodservice supplier awards rather than as a standalone procurement target.

The available recent opportunities reveal that state and local procurement under the dried-carrot code is sparse and indirect. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for dried beans (pinto and red) in March and June 2026, signaling demand for shelf-stable dried vegetables among state agencies, but no comparable dried-carrot RFQs or IFBs appear in the posting record. School districts including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Muscogee County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) are actively procuring fresh produce and general grocery items for child nutrition programs in early 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is bidding cafeteria food products across five geographic regions — yet none of these opportunities highlight dried carrots as a specified line item. The code shows minimal standalone activity across Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon; buyers meeting dried-carrot demand appear to source the item as part of master grocery or produce contracts rather than through targeted commodity buys. A business development professional should treat this code as a low-priority watch, pursuing opportunities only when dried vegetables are explicitly listed in solicitation line items or scope documents.
