UNSPSC 50424202: Dried collard greens

The variety of kale known as collard greens that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424202 Dried collard greens is a Commodity code covering a narrow single-product line that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that dried collard greens enter state and local procurement chiefly as one item within larger food-supply contracts spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, and staple items—the code itself rarely appears as a standalone line item in publicly posted notices. When dried collard greens do surface in bid documentation, they are bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food products under master grocery, child nutrition services, or cafeteria food-supply solicitations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program). The predominant buyer type is school districts managing K-12 child nutrition services, followed by state corrections departments procuring food for inmate meals.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with the most recent solicitations originating from Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County with weekly deliveries; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five TDCJ warehouse distribution points; and the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows modest but steady activity within broader institutional food-supply procurement, with no single dominant procurement body and no recent standalone dried collard greens solicitations identified in the source data.
