UNSPSC 50426100: Dried spinaches

The type of vegetable known as spinaches that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426100 Dried spinaches is a Class code that in practice encompasses procurement of bulk dried legumes and institutional food staples for state corrections facilities, school meal programs, and other public-sector food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring dried beans—pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties—in large institutional quantities, typically triple-cleaned and graded to USDA No. 2 or better standards, for use in cafeteria meal preparation, correctional-facility dining, and child-adult care food programs. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices coordinating multi-agency food procurement, municipal school districts, and children's food-service programs.
