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, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted since January 2026 show procurement activity dominated by broad food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care centers — spanning dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and complete meal programs rather than the specific commodity of dried organic chard. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller for TDCJ, Georgia Department), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County School Systems in Georgia; plus cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work being solicited typically encompasses multi-category food supply: proteins, grains, dairy, frozen items, beverages, fresh and canned produce, and supplies for 20 to 900-plus line items per solicitation.

Recent opportunities show no evidence of procurement narrowly focused on dried organic chard or other single-produce items; instead, Georgia has issued multiple RFPs for fresh produce assortments (IFB #4 in April 2026; SN 26-004 in February 2026), while Oregon has procured dried pinto and red beans (June 2026, 127,500 pounds; March 2026, 42,500 pounds), and Texas has sought cafeteria staples and fresh produce through multiple school districts and state agencies. The USDA index-price evaluation methodology used by Muscogee County School District (Georgia) for produce suggests pricing volatility typical of fresh-commodity procurement rather than stable preserved-goods categories. The code's assignment to these opportunities appears misaligned with its commodity-level specificity. No solicitations identified dried chard — organic or conventional — as a line item or bid category. This code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local procurement under this UNSPSC appears sparse or reflects systematic tagging errors.
