UNSPSC 50423304: Dried wintercress

The variety of cresses known as wintercress that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423304 Dried wintercress (Commodity) does not correspond to the work being solicited under recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code. The recent solicitations capture broad food-service procurement across school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations—including dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and grocery supply contracts—but dried wintercress specifically appears in none of the identified opportunities. The code shows little relevant recent activity, with a fundamental mismatch between the narrowly defined commodity (a specific dried vegetable) and the general-purpose food procurement solicitations recorded against it.

The tagged opportunities span multiple state and local issuing bodies—the City of Edinburg and the State of Texas (via the Comptroller and TDCJ), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia—with school districts and state corrections and child nutrition programs dominating the recent posting activity. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (ITB S2910000017140), and Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract for supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with responses due April 27, 2026 (IFB 2000004323). The misalignment between the code's specific commodity definition and the general grocery and food-supply procurement reflected in recent solicitations suggests this code may have been applied erroneously in tagging these opportunities, or that state and local procurement systems are using the code as a catch-all for dried-goods categories rather than as a precise commodity designator.
