UNSPSC 50422602: Dried alverda cauliflowers

The variety of cauliflower known as alverda cauliflowers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422602 Dried alverda cauliflowers, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily purchasing dried legumes — kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and red beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child care meal programs, not dried cauliflower. The issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal governments operating child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Work typically involves bulk procurement of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans specified for institutional cooking, with delivery in large quantities (thousands of pounds palletized to distribution centers) and strict compliance with food-safety standards including FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon headquarters, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with an October 9, 2026 response deadline (IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an invitation for bid (IFB 304T-26-300CF) covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including dried beans and related staples for delivery to six distribution points, with response due May 4, 2026 after a pre-bid conference and addendum extension. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies including dried beans and proteins due August 4, 2026 under a local-vendor preference framework. Illinois and the State of Oregon posted additional bean procurements in June and August 2026. The code shows no recent activity actually matching dried alverda cauliflower specifications.
