UNSPSC 50424119: Dried recao

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

UNSPSC 50424119 Dried recao, a Commodity code, does not correspond to what state and local governments are actually soliciting. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve fresh and shelf-stable food procurement — canned proteins, pasta, rice, dairy products, frozen vegetables, and canteen groceries — with no mention of dried cacao or related specialty food ingredients. State and local buyers posting opportunities that reference this code appear to be using a misclassified taxonomy marker; the actual work being purchased is general institutional food service supply, not a specialized dried-cacao line item.

Recent activity spans Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) State Supported Living Centers and related state facilities, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, all procuring bulk food service groceries through IFB notices with response dates between May and October 2026. The HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement posted June 11, 2026, with bids due July 13, 2026, carried a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; a supplemental food and consumables IFB issued May 19, 2026, with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026, had a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County's informal written quote solicitation, posted October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026, sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products for delivery by December 7, 2026. The TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB, originally due April 21, 2026, was extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, and covered roughly 382 line items across five geographic Texas warehouse locations. Because the code itself shows material misalignment with the scope of work actually being procured, treat this code as carrying low decision relevance for targeting business development efforts in food service supply.
