UNSPSC 50434119: Dried organic recao

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

UNSPSC 50434119 Dried organic cacao, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to the code encompass broad food supply contracts for K–12 school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations—including fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, groceries, and eggs—rather than specialty cacao products. The code sees activity across school districts, state departments of corrections, and state purchasing offices issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for bulk food procurement to support institutional meal service. The purchasing pattern suggests a mislabeling or systemic categorization issue within state and local procurement systems, as none of the recent opportunities explicitly solicit dried cacao or cacao-related items.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring cafeteria food products (Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026, IFB 304T-26-300CF) for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic areas; the Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery for 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri seeking grocery items for child nutrition services covering over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026); and Georgia school districts including Douglas County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County issuing RFPs and ITBs for fresh produce and eggs (due dates ranging February through May 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (due August 4, 2026). No activity specific to dried organic cacao appears in the record; vendors pursuing this code should verify actual commodity alignment with state and local procurement offices before bidding.
