UNSPSC 50433304: Dried organic wintercress

The variety of organic cresses known as organic wintercress that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433304 Dried organic wintercress, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's description targets a narrow agricultural product category, yet the most recent solicitations in the supporting data track dried beans (kidney, black, and pinto), institutional food service supplies, cafeteria products, and weekly food orders—none of which specifically reference wintercress or organic produce. State and local governments purchasing under this code—when they do—are primarily correctional institutions, child and adult care food programs, state purchasing departments, and public education systems, all seeking bulk institutional food supplies for meal programs rather than specialty organic vegetables. The work involves RFQ and IFB processes with electronic submission, all-inclusive pricing including delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and institutional-scale sourcing to meet daily operational feeding requirements.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, specifying 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting. The State of Oregon ODOC Purchasing/Contracts Division requested 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-sourced and Oregon-headquartered bidders and a one-year minimum shelf-life requirement; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staples to six distribution points on FOB Destination terms. The City of Edinburg, Texas, sought proposals under RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items) for approximately 400 children ages 1–18 due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code itself shows no specific recent wintercress procurement; activity concentration in dried commodity beans and broad institutional food supplies suggests the wintercress Commodity code sees little current demand in state and local sourcing.
