UNSPSC 50432808: Dried organic white king chard

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

UNSPSC 50432808 Dried organic white king chard (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as an incidental line item within broader food service solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement focus. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show minimal direct purchasing of dried organic white king chard itself; instead, the code surfaces in multi-category food supply contracts where produce and specialty vegetables are bundled with proteins, grains, dairy, and other staples. State and local buyers acquiring under this code include school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs serving institutional meal operations. The actual buying pattern reflects integrated food service procurement where dried organic vegetables compete alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, and commodity staples in consolidated RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), state corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state nutrition programs (Illinois IVHQ, Georgia), and municipal child care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest with recent solicitations posted from Georgia (multiple school districts and state-level fresh produce procurement), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products, Edinburg CACFP), Oregon (ODOC dried bean contracts), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for weekly food delivery across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for 6,900 daily lunch participants; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB issued by the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (response extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas; and the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP (due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children ages 1–18 with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows no standalone dried organic white king chard procurement and limited recent activity directly matching the commodity's specific scope; buyers treating this code as part of broader fresh and processed produce categories suggest the commodity itself commands niche demand within larger institutional food service contracts.
