UNSPSC 50422806: Dried swiss chard

The variety of chard known as swiss chard that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422806 Dried swiss chard (Commodity) does not match the work currently being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code span kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broader food-supply categories for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state institutions, but do not include dried swiss chard or similar leafy vegetable products. State and local governments do procure dried legumes and institutional food supplies through formal solicitations, with issuing bodies including state correctional agencies, state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, cities, and school districts. The scope of these procurements typically encompasses bulk dried beans meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned to remove debris and foreign material, with delivery on palletized loads or in measured increments (880-bag quantities or tens of thousands of pounds) to institutional distribution centers or food-service facilities.

Recent activity shows Georgia Correctional Industries issuing an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, the Oregon Department of Corrections posting an IFB (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 at $0.493 per pound historically, and the State of Oregon soliciting dried black beans (S2910000017705) due August 21, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouses with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal-program supplies due August 4, 2026 with a local-vendor preference. Procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with correctional systems and institutional food service as the primary buyers. The code shows recent activity but limited relevance to dried swiss chard specifically; vendors in this segment should confirm scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to this commodity code.
