UNSPSC 50432806: Dried organic swiss chard

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

UNSPSC 50432806 Dried organic swiss chard is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. The opportunities solicited are dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) for institutional food service — including correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency meal services — rather than dried organic swiss chard. State and local buyers under this code include the Georgia Department of Corrections, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the State of Oregon, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas. The work involves bulk procurement of dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications, and food-safety compliance for institutional cooking and meal preparation, with strict packaging, delivery, and nutritional-compliance requirements.

The geographic spread centers on the South and West: Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas dominate recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, requiring delivery in increments of 880 bags with all-inclusive pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem within 45 days; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB for cafeteria food products (including dried beans among 382 line items) on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with response due May 4, 2026, and FOB Destination delivery to six distribution points across Texas. The code shows limited but recurring activity tied to institutional meal programs rather than consumer retail or healthcare food service.
