UNSPSC 50436812: Dried organic beet tops

The type of organic vegetable known as organic beet tops that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436812 Dried organic beet tops, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring dried organic beet tops specifically; instead, recent opportunities tagged under or near this code reflect broader food-service procurement by school districts, correctional agencies, and child nutrition programs that source dried legumes, fresh produce, and general grocery items as part of large, diverse supply contracts. The City of Edinburg, Texas, for example, solicited food and nonfood items for its Child and Adult Care Food Program under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026), encompassing beverages, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, and snacks for approximately 400 children daily; the scope does not isolate dried organic beet tops or similar specialty dried vegetables. Similarly, the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two recent bids for dried beans — pinto and red beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, 127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026) and pinto beans alone (ITB S2910000017140, 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026) — reflecting commodity-level procurement of shelf-stable dried goods, but neither bid targeted organic produce or beet-specific items.

The issuing bodies driving activity in this space are school districts (including Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and multiple Georgia school systems), state departments of corrections (Oregon), and child nutrition programs serving public institutions. Geographic concentration includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition contracting dominating the visible opportunity set. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), which required grocery supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, and the Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items bid (due April 29, 2026), encompassing over 900 line items including snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, dairy, beverages, meats, and prepared entrees. None of these opportunities explicitly itemize dried organic beet tops as a line item or focus area. The code itself shows no current pursuit signal for specialists in dried organic produce; vendors targeting this code should expect to compete as part of large multipurpose food-service teams rather than as category leaders.
