UNSPSC 50423703: Dried herald fennel

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

UNSPSC 50423703 Dried herald fennel, a Commodity code, sees minimal state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's narrow scope. The recent opportunity records show no direct solicitations for dried fennel or botanically similar dried herbs; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad food-service procurement for school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs that source hundreds of commodity food items across proteins, produce, grains, dairy, and miscellaneous staples. The code's nominal focus on a single dried-herb ingredient does not match the actual buying patterns in the available records.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food-service supply contracts span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; Illinois state operations). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) seeking food products for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items IFB (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items supporting 6,900 daily lunch participants; and Oregon Department of Corrections' dried bean procurements (ITBs for pinto and mixed beans, March and June 2026) totaling approximately 170,000 pounds annually. The code shows no recent standalone solicitations for dried fennel or similar specialty dried herbs, suggesting limited or negligible state and local procurement demand for this commodity.
