UNSPSC 50432803: Dried organic lucullus chard

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

UNSPSC 50432803 Dried organic lucullus chard is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it diverge markedly from the code's nominal scope. The source names four opportunities involving dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) and one involving broad cafeteria food products, none of which reference chard, organic or otherwise. State and local procurement offices are tagging institutional food procurement — primarily dried legumes for correctional facilities, schools, and state agencies — under this code, though the code name does not reflect the actual work being solicited.

The issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state procurement divisions acting on behalf of other state agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ; Illinois IVHQ; State of Oregon), and municipal school nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas for Child and Adult Care Food Program). The work solicited comprises dried commodity beans and broader food-supply categories for institutional meal preparation in 20-day monthly cycles or quarterly blocks, with daily or scheduled deliveries, compliance with USDA, FDA, and state nutrition standards, and pricing on an all-inclusive, FOB-destination basis. Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) requests dried black beans triple-cleaned to USDA grading standards for institutional use; the Georgia Correctional Industries bid (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) seeks kidney beans in 880-bag increments; the City of Edinburg RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) encompasses beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, and janitorial supplies for approximately 400 children daily; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covers approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and produce for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five Texas regions on firm pricing with 30-day delivery windows.
