UNSPSC 50426101: Dried america spinach

The variety of spinach known as america spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426101 Dried america spinach is a Commodity code that in practice covers bulk dried vegetable products — specifically dried spinach and comparable dehydrated leafy greens — procured by state corrections departments, school districts, and food service operations to support institutional meal programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for spinach alone; instead, purchasing entities typically acquire dried vegetables as part of broader grocery or food supply contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) both actively procure dried legumes and canned/dried vegetables for inmate meal service, while school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and the Douglas County School System solicit comprehensive grocery line items that include dried and preserved vegetables alongside fresh produce. Issuing bodies span state corrections agencies, large metropolitan school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (notably the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts); no private institutional or hospitality operators appear in the recent record.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The ODOC issued two separate bids for dried pinto beans totaling over 170,000 pounds in a single quarter, indicating recurring high-volume procurement of dried goods. Texas corrections and Georgia school districts (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and the Douglas County School System) show active fresh and dried produce sourcing through RFPs and ITBs posted between January and June 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia, solicited comprehensive food supply contracts with response dates in April through August 2026 that encompass dried vegetables within broader line-item arrays. No solicitations specifically targeting dried spinach appeared in the recent block, suggesting the code sees activity primarily as a line item within larger commodity baskets rather than as a standalone procurement; business development should track school nutrition RFPs and state corrections food supply ITBs where dried vegetables are bundled with other staple ingredients.
