UNSPSC 50402302: Savoy cabbages

The type of vegetable known as savoy cabbage

UNSPSC 50402302 Savoy cabbages is a Commodity code reflecting fresh produce supplied to institutional food service operations — primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and mental health agencies. The sourcing activity under this code centers on bulk fresh vegetable procurement for on-site meal preparation, with savoy cabbage appearing as one line item within broader fresh-produce and food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity. State and local issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supporting state-supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (supplying correctional institutions), school districts across Georgia and other states (supporting nutrition programs), county boards of education, municipal departments of human services, and regional mental health centers. Repeat buyers include the Texas HHS Commission (which has issued multiple concurrent food and vegetable solicitations for FY27 operations) and Texas TDCJ (which regularly sources fresh produce for institutional food warehouses).

Recent procurement activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitation activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumables and foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267420 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center, due September 3, 2026, with small business set-aside), the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program's IB 016-SNS-2027 (fresh produce for 24 school nutrition sites, sealed bid due June 16, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, due July 29, 2026, with diverse-owned business preferences). These solicitations typically specify F.O.B. Destination pricing with vendor-paid delivery, require compliance with food safety regulations and prevailing wage where applicable, and emphasize compliance certifications and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1 million in general liability coverage.
