UNSPSC 50434122: Dried organic salsify

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

UNSPSC 50434122 Dried organic salsify is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source records twelve recent solicitations across this code, yet none name dried organic salsify or any salsify product; instead, the opportunities span fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables, eggs), dried beans (pinto and red), cafeteria and grocery staples (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments), and general food service supply for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that dried salsify is not a product category state and local governments are actively sourcing.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), child-nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state procurement offices (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with opportunities posted between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (due March 4, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly require dried salsify, and the code appears inactive or incorrectly mapped in current state and local procurement workflows.
