UNSPSC 50423600: Dried endives

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

UNSPSC 50423600 Dried endives, a Class code, does not appear in state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes dried endive vegetables, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification involve bulk dried beans (pinto and red), fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, eggs), fresh-cut vegetables and fruits, prepared entrees, dairy products, beverages, grains, and miscellaneous grocery staples serving school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and child care meal programs. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope—dried beans and fresh produce categories dominate recent postings—signals either classification inconsistency in the source system or minimal direct procurement of dried endives under this code.

Activity spans state departments, school districts, and county purchasing offices across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026, for grocery supply to 45 schools; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requesting bids for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, issuing RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood supplies due August 4, 2026. The code shows no recent direct procurement of dried endives; vendors evaluating this classification should verify actual purchasing intent with issuing bodies before investment in pursuit activity.
