UNSPSC 50426108: Dried medania spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426108 Dried medania spinach, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities in the source are dominated by broad food service supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—including fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and miscellaneous grocery items—alongside some single-commodity procurements for dried beans. None of the recent solicitations specifically request dried spinach or items narrowly matching the code's stated product. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts and correctional facilities dominate the buying pattern, with school nutrition procurement appearing in roughly half the recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas requesting proposals under RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood supplies (due August 4, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF to multiple warehouse locations (response date extended to May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting sealed bids for Master Grocery K-12 term supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens via IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) bidding child nutrition grocery items covering over 900 line items for July 2026 through June 2027 (due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS); and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds, due March 20, 2026; and 42,500 pounds, due June 19, 2026). The code shows minimal recent activity specifically aligned with dried spinach procurement.
