UNSPSC 50422106: Dried rubine brussel sprouts

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

UNSPSC 50422106 Dried rubine brussel sprouts (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code appears in state and local databases but does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under it at present. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto/red beans — procured by correctional agencies, state food-distribution systems, child care programs, and institutional meal services. These solicitations emphasize bulk institutional purchasing with detailed USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications, palletization requirements, and compliance with FDA and HACCP standards for high-volume kitchen and cafeteria operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (dried brussel sprouts) and the recent solicitations (dried beans of multiple varieties) signals either a data-entry error in the opportunity tagging or a code that no longer reflects current procurement practice.

State and local buyers posting under this code include the Georgia Department of Corrections Industries, the State of Oregon, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), the City of Edinburg (Texas) for child care meal service, and the State of Illinois for institutional food supply. Recent opportunities show activity in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, through the OregonBuys system, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and for Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026; and Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments with bids due October 9, 2026. Given the consistent divergence between the code name and the products actually being purchased, this code presents limited pursuit opportunity without clarification of its current intended scope.
