UNSPSC 50434201: Dried organic curly kale

The variety of organic kale known as organic curly kale that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434201 Dried organic curly kale, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with no solicitations specifically requesting this product appearing in the most recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a single dried vegetable product, but state and local governments soliciting under related food-supply codes are purchasing much broader commodity baskets—fresh produce, dried legumes, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and prepared foods—rather than organic specialty vegetables. School nutrition programs, corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition services dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The recent solicitations tagged to this code or nearby commodity codes show that state and local procurement offices are consolidating food supply into large master-grocery contracts, produce-specific RFPs, and commodity buys rather than sourcing individual dried vegetables through narrow-scope solicitations.

The representative recent opportunities reveal the actual pattern: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) spanning 76+ line items across all food categories for seven distribution kitchens and 45 schools; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought over 900 grocery-item line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026); Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP 26-003 for a $9 million main-line food distributor (due February 18, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited dried pinto beans in two separate procurements (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026, and ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026). A City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) sought food and nonfood items across five supply categories for 400 children daily. None of these opportunities specifically targets dried organic kale; the code shows no recent standalone procurement activity for this commodity and appears misaligned with current state and local buying patterns.
