UNSPSC 50426114: Dried trinidad spinach

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

UNSPSC 50426114 Dried trinidad spinach, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food item with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name identifies a specific produce variant—dried Trinidad spinach—but recent opportunities show state and local governments buying this category alongside broader dried-goods solicitations. The City of Edinburg, Texas solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026017 (due August 4, 2026), encompassing vegetables alongside proteins, breads, and dairy in a five-category supply scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026), requesting 42,500 and 127,500 pounds respectively, both triple-cleaned and U.S. No. 2 or better grade. The State of Georgia and State of Illinois posted broader food-supply solicitations (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026, and 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with dried goods embedded within larger category lists. These opportunities reveal that dried vegetables, including variants like dried spinach, are purchased primarily as component line items within institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone procurements.

Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state nutrition and food agencies (Georgia, Illinois), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and municipal child-care programs (City of Edinburg). School districts dominate recent activity, reflecting consistent demand for shelf-stable vegetables and dried goods in child nutrition services. Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with Illinois and multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles also active. The code shows no high-volume, single-item dried-spinach solicitations in recent months. Opportunities are instead bundled within master grocery contracts, produce line-item arrays, or consolidated institutional food buys where dried spinach or similar dried vegetables appear as minor line items among hundreds of SKUs. Pursuit depends on operational fit within broader food-service distribution or institutional supply platforms rather than specialized dried-produce expertise; margins and volume per line item are typically thin in school-district and corrections-system grocery procurements.
