UNSPSC 50422505: Dried nantes carrots

The variety of carrots known as nantes carrots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422505 Dried nantes carrots (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The source contains thirteen recent opportunities across Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia issued between January and July 2026, but none explicitly solicits dried nantes carrots or products matching that specific commodity. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140 in June 2026 and S2910000016233 in March 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited diverse cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments, but dried nantes carrots do not appear in either procurement. The remaining opportunities—from Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and the City of Edinburg—target fresh produce, fresh carrots where specified, master grocery contracts, child nutrition meal programs, and produce-plus-egg combinations, none of which match the dried nantes carrot commodity.

The mismatch between the code's definition and recent procurement activity suggests either minimal current demand for this specific dried produce item among state and local buyers or a tagging inconsistency in the source data. School districts and corrections departments—the primary institutional buyers in the recent sample—appear to prioritize fresh produce, bulk staple proteins, and prepared entrees over specialty dried vegetables. No issuing body posted a solicitation for dried nantes carrots, no response deadlines apply to this commodity, and no geographic concentration emerges. Firms pursuing this code should verify current demand through direct outreach to institutional food service procurement offices, particularly in corrections, public schools, and child nutrition programs, before committing business development resources.
