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, does not see meaningful recent solicitation activity among state and local buyers. The code nominally covers a specific dried vegetable product, yet the five recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code span kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and broad cafeteria food-supply categories — none of which are dried fordhook giant chard. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inconsistently or tag it to broader dried-legume and institutional food procurement when the actual scope is wider than the code name suggests. When state and local governments do solicit dried vegetables and beans for institutional meal service, they typically source through general food-supply RFQs, IFBs, or cooperative purchasing arrangements rather than commodity-specific code requisitions.

The few identifiable opportunities in the recent record involve institutional and correctional food service. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) posted IFB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), with a historical purchase price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA and a combined 10% Oregon-based sourcing preference applied. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), through the Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum from April 21). The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal-program supply including beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, and snacks (due August 4, 2026), with a Texas local-vendor preference of 5% for bidders within the city limits. Opportunity volume remains low, and no recent solicitation explicitly names dried fordhook giant chard or similar specialty dried vegetables as a standalone procurement line.
