UNSPSC 50432804: Dried organic perpetual spinach chard

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

UNSPSC 50432804 Dried organic perpetual spinach chard is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within produce procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show no direct solicitations for this specific item. Instead, the code's activity is dominated by broader fresh and dried produce buys—fresh produce for school nutrition programs, fresh vegetable and fruit deliveries, and dried commodity beans for corrections facilities—where spinach chard, if procured at all, would be bundled into larger category purchases rather than solicited as a standalone line item. State and local governments are buying produce through master grocery contracts, school nutrition RFPs and ITBs, and institutional food-service bids that aggregate dozens or hundreds of line items, not individual vegetable SKUs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County Schools) and a state Department of Corrections facility, with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative expanding geographic reach across multiple districts in Georgia.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP program, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Statewide Procurement), with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Oregon (ODOC dried beans). Representative opportunities include Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (IFB, due April 29, 2026), which encompasses over 900 line items across produce, meats, dairy, and prepared foods; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) for 72 produce items including leafy greens to 60 school sites; and Douglas County Schools' Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026) covering approximately $9 million in annual food service for 32 schools. Dried organic spinach chard does not appear as a called-out line item in any of these solicitations; vendors pursuing this code would need to position the product as part of a broader produce or grocery offering to school nutrition programs or institutional food-service contracts rather than expect standalone demand.
