UNSPSC 50422808: Dried white king chard

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

UNSPSC 50422808 Dried white king chard, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food ingredient category that state and local governments procure as part of broader meal-service and nutrition programs. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show little direct activity for dried chard specifically; instead, the code appears in procurement contexts where it sits within larger fresh or processed produce categories bundled with dozens of other vegetables, grains, proteins, and staple food items. State and local issuing bodies—school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—source this commodity as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food-service RFPs and IFBs that establish supply relationships with food distributors and produce vendors.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts comprising the bulk of issuing bodies alongside state correctional and child nutrition agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' grocery-items solicitation (RFP, April 29, 2026, over 900 line items), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (May 4, 2026, approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas), the Muscogee County School District fresh produce ITB (April 27, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 IFB (April 27, 2026), the City of Edinburg CACFP meal program RFP (August 4, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections dried beans ITB (June 19, 2026). Dried chard does not appear as a named line item in any of the summarized opportunities; the code is tagged to commodity procurement categories but does not map cleanly to active solicitation detail, suggesting that dried white king chard either represents a minimal-volume item within these broader procurements or is purchased under different commodity classifications in practice.
