UNSPSC 50436111: Dried organic savoy spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic savoy spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436111 Dried organic savory spinach is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned directly with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited: the City of Edinburg, Texas; the State of Illinois; the Oregon Department of Corrections; the State of Georgia; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; the Muscogee County School District in Georgia; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and the Douglas County School System in Georgia are all soliciting dried beans, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and grocery items for meal programs and food service operations — work that spans multiple UNSPSC commodity codes but does not specifically call for dried organic savory spinach as a line item. The dominant purchasing pattern across all recent notices is broad food supply aggregation: school nutrition programs sourcing hundreds of line items across proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and supplies; corrections departments procuring bulk dried beans and mixed entrees; and child care facilities buying complete meal-program inventories including beverages, produce, proteins, and nonfood items.

Issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County School System) and state corrections or nutrition agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), with one municipal child care program (City of Edinburg). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with secondary presence in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items RFP (IFB CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, and condiments for roughly 7,800 daily participants; the Oregon Department of Corrections dried pinto and red beans ITB (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds at approximately $0.493 per pound; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum bids on 76 items across all food categories for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code itself generates no observable demand specific to dried organic savory spinach; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor school nutrition, corrections, and municipal food-service RFPs under broader grocery or produce codes rather than expect solicitations keyed to this narrow specialty item.
