UNSPSC 50432802: Dried organic fordhook giant chard

The variety of organic chard known as organic fordhook giant chard that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432802 Dried organic fordhook giant chard, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's scope. The single dried-vegetable opportunity identified in recent solicitations — the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for dried pinto and red beans — does not match fordhook giant chard specifically. State and local buyers purchasing under this code segment appear to source dried legumes and staple vegetables primarily through food service aggregators rather than as discrete line-item procurements for a single dried-vegetable product; the broader UNSPSC family covering processed and dried vegetables sees activity across school districts, state corrections systems, and state institutional food programs, but narrowly specialized items like dried organic fordhook giant chard do not surface in recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs.

The absence of recent solicitations directly naming dried organic fordhook giant chard reflects the commodity's limited presence in state and local food procurement. School districts in Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Georgia (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), and Texas (Edinburg), along with state systems in Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas, are actively procuring fresh produce, dried legumes, and prepared vegetables for child nutrition and institutional food service, but these RFPs and ITBs emphasize commodity staples—apples, bananas, carrots, pinto beans, and fresh dairy—rather than specialty dried vegetables. A vendor focused on dried organic fordhook giant chard should monitor broader produce and dried-goods categories within the food service space, particularly cooperative purchasing arrangements serving multiple school districts or state institutional systems, but should not expect regular state and local demand for this specific product.
