UNSPSC 50434109: Dried organic dill

The variety of organic herbs known as organic dill that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434109 Dried organic dill is a Commodity code that in practice covers institutional procurement of dried legumes and specialty food ingredients for state correctional facilities, school meal programs, and other government food-service operations. The code sees activity primarily among state departments of corrections, departments of agriculture, school districts, and municipal meal-service programs soliciting dried beans, peas, and related staple ingredients for bulk institutional cooking. Issuing bodies include state purchasing offices acting on behalf of correctional industries, state departments managing institutional food procurement, and municipal governments operating child and adult care food programs. Solicitations under this code typically specify USDA grading standards, moisture content and foreign-material thresholds, triple-cleaning requirements for legume products, palletization and FOB destination delivery terms, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards. Pricing is quoted all-inclusive of freight and delivery charges with no separate line-item reimbursement for transportation or fuel surcharges.
