UNSPSC 50422304: Dried white cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50422304 Dried white cabbages is a Commodity code capturing produce-category food items bought by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service. The recent opportunities under this code show minimal direct activity for dried white cabbage specifically; instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring broad food-supply contracts that span fresh and dried vegetables, proteins, grains, and prepared items to support school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child nutrition services. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state correctional and social-service agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts are the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFPs and ITBs annually for grocery and produce supply. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Oregon Department of Corrections both issued separate bids for dried beans (pinto and mixed varieties) in the March-June 2026 window, indicating regular institutional demand for shelf-stable dried goods as cost-efficient protein and staple sources.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 on July 16, 2026 (due August 4, 2026) for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, and snacks for 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 for cafeteria food products across 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits to supply multiple warehouse locations; the original April 21, 2026 deadline was extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 schools and distribution kitchens. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried beans: S2910000016233 on March 6, 2026 (due March 20, 2026) for 127,500 pounds of pinto beans, and S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of mixed pinto and red beans, both with 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarter preferences combined for evaluation. These solicitations indicate strong regional demand for commodity-style food sourcing through traditional bid channels with firm fixed pricing, delivery-to-site requirements, and multi-year contract terms.
