UNSPSC 50434200: Dried organic kale

The type of organic vegetable known as organic kale that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434200 Dried organic kale, a Class code, shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally addresses dried organic kale specifically, yet recent solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect that scope. The City of Edinburg, Texas, did post an RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies spanning five categories — beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products — but kale (dried or organic) does not appear in the scope. Similarly, the State of Illinois, State of Georgia, State of Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia have issued recent solicitations for broad food service categories including fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria products, and grocery items, none of which identify dried organic kale as a line item or requirement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and actual procurement needs suggests this code is either misapplied in the data or represents a narrow product category that state and local agencies do not actively procure under independent solicitation. School districts, corrections departments, and city nutrition programs are sourcing fresh produce, dried legumes, and general grocery staples through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, but none of these opportunities reference dried organic kale as a deliverable. Pursuits under this code warrant verification against the actual bid documents before commitment.
