UNSPSC 50426104: Dried horenso spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426104 Dried horenso spinach, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty produce item that state and local governments procure infrequently and in limited volumes, primarily as part of broader food service supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. The code does not map cleanly to recent state and local solicitations in the source material. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—including CACFP meal programs, school nutrition services, prison food supply, fresh produce contracts, and general grocery procurement—focus overwhelmingly on common staple produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared foods (beans, fresh fruit, vegetables, milk, cheese, meats, pasta, rice, condiments). Dried horenso spinach, a Japanese specialty leafy green, does not appear as a line item, specification, or scope element in any of the ten recent solicitations reviewed. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source level or an absence of actual procurement activity under this commodity code in the current state and local market.

Geographic representation across recent food service opportunities is concentrated in the South and Midwest: Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP, TDCJ prison cafeteria, Texas Comptroller procurement), Georgia (State of Georgia food supplies, Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Illinois (State of Illinois IVHQ weekly food order), and Oregon (ODOC dried beans). Issuing bodies are mixed—state departments (Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon), school districts (Fairfax, Rockwood, Douglas County, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham), a municipal government (City of Edinburg), a state prison system (TDCJ via Texas Comptroller), and a Boys & Girls Club (Edinburg). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026, and the Rockwood R-VI School District's IFB for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026—neither of which references dried horenso spinach. The code shows little relevant recent activity.
