UNSPSC 50423704: Dried perfection fennel

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

UNSPSC 50423704 Dried perfection fennel, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity posted under it. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code predominantly solicit dried beans—particularly pinto and red beans for institutional food service—rather than fennel. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto beans twice in the past four months (127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products including diverse staples for five warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026. School districts and child nutrition programs also appear under this code: Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items for child nutrition services due April 29, 2026, and the City of Edinburg, Texas solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program due August 4, 2026. The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitations suggests either a taxonomy alignment issue or incidental tagging; fennel-specific procurement does not appear in recent state and local activity.

Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, school districts, and municipal child nutrition programs across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice are repeat buyers of dried legumes and food staples. Geographic activity clusters in Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ warehouse locations), Oregon (ODOC Salem distribution center), and the upper South (Georgia school districts, Missouri school districts, Virginia Fairfax County Public Schools). No single jurisdiction dominates; activity is distributed across state agencies and K-12 nutrition programs. Because the code nomenclature does not align with the actual work being bought, business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities, and should note that institutional dried-goods procurement under this taxonomy may reflect broader commodity or legume classifications rather than fennel specifically.
