UNSPSC 50402304: White cabbages

The type of vegetable known as white cabbage

UNSPSC 50402304 White cabbages is a Commodity code describing fresh produce items state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations, institutional food supply warehouses, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show white cabbage and related fresh produce being procured through IFBs, RFPs, and sealed bids by state health and human services departments, departments of criminal justice, school districts, and senior services divisions for delivery to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and other public institutions. The work spans both standalone produce procurement and bundled food-service groceries contracts where cabbage and other vegetables are line items within larger food-supply scopes. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple consumables and food-service grocery solicitations for state-supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (posting fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations for institutional food warehouses and dining operations), school districts in Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education) seeking local and regional produce supply, the Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health, the Wisconsin Madison Metropolitan School District, and municipal entities such as the City of San Antonio and Collier County in Florida.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (particularly through TDCJ and HHSC procurement), Georgia (school nutrition programs), and Illinois (corrections and mental health facilities), with additional recent activity from Florida, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP IW267376 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetables—Palestine, due October 19, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), the Illinois Department of Corrections IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (Fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center, small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026), and the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 (local fresh fruits and vegetables for 2026-2027 school year, due June 22, 2026). Contracts typically run one fiscal or school year with optional renewal periods, specify F.O.B. Destination or F.O.B. Origin delivery terms with vendors bearing transportation costs, require compliance with USDA and food-safety standards, and demand insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $1 million general liability. Many school-district procurements include local-sourcing preferences (400-mile radius in Wisconsin and Georgia examples) and weighted scoring that emphasizes cost, variety, quality, compliance, and delivery reliability.
