UNSPSC 50423702: Dried fino fennel

The variety of fennel known as fino fennel that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423702 Dried fino fennel is a Commodity code that represents a narrow, specialized food ingredient with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations specifically requesting dried fino fennel; the code appears in taxonomy but does not match the actual work being solicited under recent opportunities. State and local procurement bodies have posted solicitations for broad grocery supply, fresh produce, dried beans (pinto and red), and cafeteria food products—all of which fall under adjacent UNSPSC codes for general food supply or dried legumes—but none explicitly name fino fennel or narrow herbaceous spices as line items.

The recent opportunities cluster around school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, none of which reference dried fino fennel in their specifications. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000016233 in March 2026 and S2910000017140 in June 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products encompassing 382 line items under IFB 304T26300CF, and multiple school districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School System, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System—sought grocery and fresh produce contracts for the 2026–27 school year. None of these solicitations included dried fino fennel among their specifications. The code shows no demonstrated match to current state and local purchasing patterns and warrants close attention during RFP Q&A cycles; if end-users do not name the item when given the opportunity, it is unlikely to appear as a standalone line item in future awards.
