UNSPSC 50422100: Dried brussel sprouts

The type of vegetable known as brussel sprouts that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422100 Dried brussel sprouts is a Class code that describes a narrow commodity line with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name does not align with the actual work being solicited under it—recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit broad food supply contracts, dried beans, fresh produce, and cafeteria staples serving school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs, none of which center on dried brussel sprouts. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate solicitations for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds respectively), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted RFPs or ITBs for grocery items, fresh produce, and food distribution. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois have also posted food supply solicitations, and the State of Georgia has issued a general produce and kitchen-products ITB. These opportunities collectively suggest that the code may be misapplied or that state and local governments rarely procure dried brussel sprouts as a line item.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, reflecting solicitations from state departments of corrections, large suburban school districts, and municipal child nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens for the July 2026–June 2027 period; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items (due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic submission) spanning over 900 line items for 2026–27; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual expenditure approximately $9,000,000); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' separate bids for dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) and dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026). The code shows no discernible procurement demand specifically for dried brussel sprouts and appears to serve as a catch-all tag for diverse food-service commodities rather than a reliable classifier for this narrow product line.
