UNSPSC 50433702: Dried organic fino fennel

The variety of organic fennel known as organic fino fennel that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433702 Dried organic fino fennel is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit under this specific code; the recent opportunities block contains no procurements for fino fennel. Instead, the available opportunities show state and local agencies actively procuring dried beans—black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and kidney beans—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, school meal programs, and child care operations. The scope includes bulk dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned specifications, moisture-content and foreign-material limits, and FDA and HACCP compliance for meal preparation in high-volume settings. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state departments of corrections purchasing divisions, state education or institutional food service operations, city food procurement offices administering federal meal programs, and state agencies procuring for multiple institutional users.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an RFQ (S2910000017705) on August 7, 2026 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026. The same state also solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) on June 5, 2026 with a June 19, 2026 deadline and a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Texas Comptroller, issued an IFB (304T26300CF) on May 4, 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items including proteins, grains, and legumes across five geographic warehouse distribution points, with a pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026 and responses extended to May 4, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) on October 2, 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and no separate freight reimbursement. The code shows persistent procurement but for commodities structurally similar to fino fennel rather than for fennel itself; vendors holding capability in bulk dried legumes may find the competitive landscape more active than the nominal code suggests.
