UNSPSC 50433610: Dried organic rossa di verona endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic rossa di verona endives that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433610 Dried organic rossa di verona endives, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under state and local procurement activity currently tagged to this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve bulk dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans—and broader institutional food supply for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies. The code's nominal scope (a specific variety of endive) bears no relationship to the dried-legume procurement dominating recent activity. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing agencies (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal food-service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work being bought is commodity-grade dried legumes in bulk quantities—typically several thousand to tens of thousands of pounds per order—destined for institutional kitchens, meal programs serving incarcerated populations or schoolchildren, and state warehouse distribution networks.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (solicitation S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026), with a historical price of $0.493 per pound and a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon plus bidders headquartered there. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited bids for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027), with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies serving approximately 400 children daily, with a Texas local-vendor preference for bids within 5% of the lowest price and a due date of August 4, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items including dried beans, proteins, and staple foods across five geographic distribution areas with FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations. This code shows material recent activity but a marked mismatch between its nominal taxonomy and actual buying patterns—the classification appears to be a data-quality issue rather than an accurate procurement signal.
