UNSPSC 50424119: Dried recao

The variety of herbs known as recao that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424119 Dried recao (Commodity) covers dried cacao products purchased by state and local governments for food service and institutional consumption. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing general grocery and food supply procurements for state agencies, school districts, and institutional facilities, though the opportunities in the dataset reflect broader food categories rather than dried cacao specifically. State and local buyers under this code include corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and state-supported living centers. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Douglas County School System, and the State of Illinois have all issued recent solicitations spanning fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and consumable supplies for institutional food service operations serving thousands of daily meal participants.
