UNSPSC 50422103: Dried oliver brussel sprouts

The variety of brussel sprouts known as oliver brussel sprouts that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422103 Dried oliver brussel sprouts is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this code to source institutional dried vegetables for bulk meal preparation and food service operations — though the recent solicitation record shows substantial activity in related dried legumes (kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans) rather than brussels sprouts specifically. Work under this code centers on food procurement for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, state educational institutions, and criminal justice departments, where dried vegetables and legumes serve as cost-effective, shelf-stable protein and nutritional components in large-volume institutional cooking. Procurement typically requires compliance with USDA grading standards, FDA food-safety regulations, and HACCP requirements; suppliers must deliver in bulk quantities (often palletized), meet triple-cleaned or equivalent quality thresholds, and price deliveries on an all-inclusive basis without separate freight or tariff line items. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple state agencies, municipal food service programs (such as the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal service), and specialized state procurement divisions serving institutional meal programs across multiple geographic service areas.
