UNSPSC 50426112: Dried sigmaleaf spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426112 Dried sigmaleaf spinach is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried leafy greens and similar shelf-stable produce items, though recent activity under this specific code shows limited direct alignment — most state and local opportunities tagged to dried vegetable commodities focus instead on broader dried-goods categories such as dried beans and general grocery procurement rather than fresh or dried spinach specifically. The seven recent opportunities in the dataset span school districts, corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition programs soliciting food products across multiple categories, with only two opportunities explicitly naming dried goods: the Oregon Department of Corrections twice soliciting dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026). The remaining five opportunities target fresh produce, general grocery items, and meal-service supplies for K–12 nutrition programs and state institutional feeding. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state-level buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; and municipal entities include the City of Edinburg (Texas) and entities procuring through the GEC Buying Cooperative. No opportunities in the dataset explicitly solicit dried sigmaleaf spinach or comparable dried greens.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (five school districts), Texas (two state-level and one city procurement), and Oregon (two Department of Corrections solicitations), with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and multi-state cooperative purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 26, 2026 ITB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (response deadline June 19, 2026, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-content and Oregon-headquartered-vendor evaluation preference), the City of Edinburg's August 4, 2026 RFP for CACFP meal program food and nonfood supplies for 400 children daily (local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 27, 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K–12 covering weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools and a central warehouse (July 1, 2026 contract start), and the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (through the GEC Buying Cooperative). The code shows minimal current activity specific to dried sigmaleaf spinach; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor broader dried-goods and institutional-feeding categories where activity is more robust.
