UNSPSC 50422300: Dried cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50422300 Dried cabbages, a Class code, shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried cabbage products for institutional use, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this classification actually solicit dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—rather than cabbage. State and local buyers using this code are institutional purchasers, including state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state food-service programs (Illinois, Georgia), and municipal child care operations (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work involves bulk procurement of dried legumes for meal programs, cafeteria operations, and correctional food service, with specifications typically requiring USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned product, palletization, and FOB destination delivery to institutional warehouses or central distribution points.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined evaluation preference (5% for Oregon fabrication and 5% for Oregon headquarters); the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program RFP due August 4, 2026, spanning food products including proteins, beverages, and nonfood items for 400 children daily. The code shows limited relevant recent solicitation volume, with only one opportunity explicitly naming dried cabbage in the nominal scope; the remaining records indicate the code may be misaligned with actual purchasing activity or underutilized for the commodity families state and local buyers are currently sourcing.
