UNSPSC 50422609: Dried purple cape cauliflowers

The variety of cauliflower known as purple cape cauliflowers that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422609 Dried purple cape cauliflowers is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of dried beans and legumes for institutional food service, not purple cauliflowers specifically. Recent solicitations under this code show purchasing departments and correctional facilities buying dried kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans in bulk quantities — typically 880-bag increments or tens of thousands of pounds — for inmate meals, correctional industries operations, and child care food programs. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city food-service programs, and specialized state agencies; Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers. Specifications consistently require USDA-grade compliance, triple-cleaning standards, palletization on four-way wooden pallets with weight limits, and FOB destination delivery to central distribution centers or meal-service sites. All-inclusive pricing with transportation and fuel surcharges built into the bid is standard; vendors absorb freight and tariff costs without line-item reimbursement.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Oregon, with solicitations also posted from Texas and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, requiring electronic PDF submission and 880-bag increments with delivery included; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, bids due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service covering five supply categories including dried beans, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference for bids within 5% of the lowest price. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice encompasses cafeteria food products across multiple line items including dried beans for distribution to TDCJ warehouses, with responses extended to May 4, 2026; the initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals.
