UNSPSC 50403012: Santo serrated leaved cabbage

The variety of chinese cabbage known as santo serrated leaved cabbage

UNSPSC 50403012 Santo serrated leaved cabbage, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce supply for institutional food service operations — primarily fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to state correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county parks. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh produce through standing contracts with bi-weekly or weekly delivery schedules, with vendors responsible for meeting USDA quality standards, maintaining cold-chain integrity, and replacing damaged items at no cost. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state-supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (correctional facility food warehouses), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health (treatment and residential centers), school districts across Georgia and Wisconsin, and county and municipal parks and recreation departments. Many solicitations require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included, prevailing-wage compliance in some jurisdictions, and commercial general liability insurance between $500,000 and $1 million.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (fresh fruits and vegetables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFPs for food warehouses in Palestine and Snyder (due October 19 and October 14, 2026 respectively), the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026), the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 (local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026), and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026). School districts frequently apply geographic sourcing preferences (Wisconsin and Georgia require local or regional procurement) and diverse-business status weighting. Correctional facilities and state-supported living centers drive baseline recurring demand with annual contract values ranging from $158,000 to $969,460 in disclosed historical figures, though most recent solicitations do not specify estimated contract amounts or fixed order quantities.
