UNSPSC 50433707: Dried organic tardo fennel

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

UNSPSC 50433707 Dried organic tardo fennel, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code is nominally classified for dried organic fennel products, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it reflect procurement of dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child and adult care programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois, and the City of Edinburg (Texas) all issued bids or RFPs during May–October 2026, but these opportunities concern legumes rather than fennel seed or fennel-family botanicals. The issuing bodies span state correctional and procurement agencies, a city food-service program, and at least one state educational or institutional buyer. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the work actually being solicited suggests either a data-quality issue in how opportunities were tagged or minimal genuine procurement of dried organic fennel itself through state and local channels.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, with deliveries in increments of 880 bags on an all-inclusive pricing basis; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid (solicitation S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, grains, and condiments due May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies serving 400 children daily, with a Texas local-vendor preference for bids within 5% of the lowest price. No recent solicitations for dried organic fennel itself appear in the dataset, indicating limited or no current state and local demand under this code.
