UNSPSC 50426111: Dried savoy spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426111 Dried savory spinach, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and corrections departments. Recent solicitations show minimal direct procurement under this specific code; instead, state and local buyers tag dried legumes and fresh produce under adjacent commodity codes, with dried pinto beans and red beans appearing in Oregon Department of Corrections bids but dried spinach appearing only tangentially if at all in the recent opportunities block. The issuing bodies purchasing under related dried-goods and produce codes span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), state corrections and institutional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois IVHQ), municipalities and county agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative). Most activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs driving the highest volume of opportunities.

Representative recent solicitations under related commodity codes show the kinds of work state and local buyers are actually conducting in this space. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016233 on March 6, 2026, for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans, with a bid due date of March 20, 2026, emphasizing U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, triple-cleaned product, and FOB destination delivery to Salem, Oregon. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staple items across five geographic warehouse distribution areas, with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points; the original April 21, 2026 deadline was extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, for Master Grocery K-12 term contract supply to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, with a bid due date of April 27, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in St. Louis County, Missouri, solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items with electronic submission by April 29, 2026. The code itself shows little direct recent solicitation activity; procurement under dried spinach and similar specialty dried vegetables is likely bundled into broader dried-goods line items within larger institutional food service RFPs rather than solicited as standalone commodities.
