UNSPSC 50432000: Dried organic broccoli

The type of organic vegetable known as organic broccoli that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432000 Dried organic broccoli, a Class code, does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—dehydrated broccoli florets or similar processed vegetable products—is absent from recent solicitations. Instead, the nine most recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service procurement for K–12 schools, correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies, including fresh produce contracts, cafeteria staples, dried beans, and comprehensive grocery supply arrangements. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for food-category purchases beyond its intended commodity boundary.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller's office; Illinois and Georgia state operations), and municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer segment, with solicitations for fresh produce, groceries, and proteins using RFP and ITB vehicles. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with isolated activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools and distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for 6,900+ daily meal participants; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products contract (IFB, extended to May 4, 2026) covering 382 line items across five warehouse regions; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' dried pinto and red beans solicitation (ITB, due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies a combined 10% preference for in-state processing and headquarters, while Texas and Georgia apply local-vendor price preferences where applicable. Bidders should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this code.
