UNSPSC 50433300: Dried organic cresses

The type of organic vegetable known as organic cresses that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433300 Dried organic cresses, a Class code, nominally covers dried cress products but shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span a substantially broader scope of food service procurement—including general grocery supply, fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria food products, and child nutrition meal programs—rather than the specialized dried cress category. State and local issuing bodies posting under or near this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state corrections and nutrition departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the State of Illinois), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state procurement offices (Georgia). The bulk of procurement volume flows through school districts operating child nutrition programs, followed by state correctional facilities.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026017 for CACFP Meal Program items (due August 4, 2026) encompassing beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, and janitorial supplies for 400 children daily; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bid due June 19, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products delivered to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); the Rockwood R-VI School District CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 procurement (electronic bids due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items across snacks, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees for 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026) covering 72 produce items delivered to 60 school sites. The code does not reflect current procurement demand for dried cress specifically; opportunities tagged to it are predominantly general food service and ingredient supply contracts. Activity in this code warrants review to confirm whether tagging reflects actual commodity demand or administrative misclassification.
