UNSPSC 50423612: Dried sugarhat endives

The variety of endives known as sugarhat endives that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423612 Dried sugarhat endives (Commodity) shows minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities logged under this code involve dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—rather than endives, suggesting either misclassification at the point of posting or that state and local procurement offices are applying the code to a broader dried-vegetable family than the code name alone suggests. When opportunities do reference institutional dried-vegetable procurement, the work involves bulk supply to correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies for meal preparation and institutional dining, typically in quantities measured in bags, pounds, or pallets, with all-inclusive pricing that covers delivery, and compliance with USDA grading standards, food-safety regulations, and moisture and foreign-material thresholds.

The issuing bodies are diverse and include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of state agencies or departments of corrections, and municipal entities supporting child care or meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (extended due date May 4, 2026); and the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies including food products, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial items (due August 4, 2026) serving approximately 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The mismatch between the code's name and the dried-bean focus of recent opportunities suggests that the code's current application in state and local procurement may not closely track its nominal definition.
