UNSPSC 50422506: Dried paris market carrots

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

UNSPSC 50422506 Dried paris market carrots is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as a component of food service supply contracts, typically embedded within broader grocery or produce procurements rather than as a standalone item. Recent opportunities show this code appearing within school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and child care meal programs, where dried carrots are listed as one line item among dozens or hundreds of food products spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Muscogee County School Districts in Missouri and Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts dominate recent activity, with multiple districts across Georgia and Missouri soliciting fresh or processed produce contracts that would include dried vegetables as acceptable line items or substitutes for fresh inventory.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Midwest, particularly Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (TDCJ, municipal CACFP program), Missouri (school district), and Oregon (corrections). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, Master Grocery K-12, April 27, 2026 response deadline) spanning 76-plus items with grocery delivery to 45 schools and a warehouse; Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026) with 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas; and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, April 29, 2026 response via NUTRIKIDS electronic filing) covering over 900 grocery line items for 6,900 daily lunch participants. Dried carrots do not appear as a separately solicited commodity in the recent opportunities block; the code shows no standalone or prominent activity and appears to be a granular taxonomy classification within much larger food service aggregations where individual dried vegetable items are rarely called out as distinct procurement line items.
