UNSPSC 50433613: Dried organic verona endives

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

UNSPSC 50433613 Dried organic verona endives, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies a single specialty produce item — organic verona endives in dried form — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broad food-service procurement spanning proteins, grains, fresh produce, dairy, beverages, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations. None of the posted solicitations explicitly name dried endives or other specialty dried vegetables as line items; instead, they focus on commodity staples such as dried pinto and red beans, fresh produce, cafeteria proteins, and grocery supply contracts. The mismatch between the narrow code definition and the wide scope of recent opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or the code's designation for aggregated fresh and dried produce categories within broader food-service RFPs.

Recent activity clusters in school districts and state agencies across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate bids for dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233 in March 2026 for 127,500 pounds and IFB S-29100-00017140 in June 2026 for 42,500 pounds), suggesting ongoing institutional demand for dried legumes. School districts including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), and Fairfax County (Virginia) have solicited fresh produce and comprehensive grocery supply contracts under IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from April through June 2026, none of which name dried specialty vegetables as distinct line items. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies due August 4, 2026, encompassing food products, beverages, and paper goods across five supply categories but without explicit mention of dried endives. The code shows no demonstrated demand for the specific commodity — dried organic verona endives — making it unsuitable as a primary pursuit target absent direct issuer confirmation of product interest.
