UNSPSC 50436820: Dried organic dandelion greens

The type of organic vegetable known as organic dandelion greens that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436820 Dried organic dandelion greens is a Commodity code that sees minimal concrete recent procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting dried organic dandelion greens as a standalone line item or focused procurement category based on the available recent opportunities. The code is tagged in one opportunity — the Oregon Department of Corrections dried pinto and red beans solicitation (S2910000017140, ITB, bids due June 19, 2026) — but that procurement targets dried legumes, not leafy greens, and the tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than evidence of demand for the code's stated product. The broader constellation of recent state and local food solicitations — spanning Texas CACFP meal service, Illinois weekly food orders, Georgia fresh produce and food supplies, Missouri school nutrition, Texas prison cafeteria items, and multiple school district produce and grocery contracts across Virginia, Georgia, and Missouri — demonstrates active procurement of fresh and dried vegetables, produce, and staple proteins for child nutrition, corrections, and institutional food service, but none specifically name dried organic dandelion greens as a line item or require organic certification for leafy green products.

The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under related codes include state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state nutrition and food divisions (Illinois, Georgia), large school districts (Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Muscogee County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia), and local health departments (City of Edinburg CACFP program). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Given the absence of specific solicitations for dried organic dandelion greens and the code's tangential appearance in an unrelated dried-bean procurement, pursuit under this code is not warranted at present absent evidence of targeted state or local demand for this specialty produce item.
