UNSPSC 50422402: Dried gobbi cardoons

The variety of cardoons known as gobbi cardoons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422402 Dried gobbi cardoons is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through general food supply solicitations for school districts, corrections departments, and food service programs, though the code's specific commodity — dried gobbi cardoons — does not appear prominently in recent posting activity. Instead, state and local buyers tag broader food procurement notices with this code while soliciting staple dried goods such as pinto beans, general grocery items, fresh produce, cafeteria products, and meal program supplies. The issuing bodies span 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 departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts appear most frequently in the recent posting record, each managing large-scale meal programs requiring regular competitive bidding for food supply and delivery.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with significant recent procurement from Georgia (State of Georgia, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Texas (City of Edinburg, Texas Comptroller/TDCJ, Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026; the Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 term contract due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District RFP for grocery items 2026-2027 due April 29, 2026; and the City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 for CACFP Meal Program food and nonfood items due August 4, 2026.
