UNSPSC 50423100: Dried chives

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

UNSPSC 50423100 Dried chives, a Class code, does not map to the recent state and local contract opportunities presented. The code nominally describes a single dried herb product; however, the recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect broad food-service procurement across beverages, proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and supplies rather than dried chives specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity records or inconsistent UNSPSC application by issuing bodies. No recent state and local opportunities explicitly solicit dried chives as a line item or primary category.

Recent activity under this code tag includes school nutrition programs, institutional food service for corrections facilities, and child care meal programs spanning Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITB solicitations for dried beans (pinto and pinto/red combined) in March and June 2026, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products with a response date of May 4, 2026, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract with responses due April 27, 2026. School districts in Georgia (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) and the City of Edinburg, Texas have solicited fresh produce and grocery items for child nutrition programs. Given the code's actual application, prospective vendors should verify the intended commodity classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 50423100, as the code appears to mischaracterize the products and services being procured.
