UNSPSC 50422610: Dried snowball cauliflowers

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

UNSPSC 50422610 Dried snowball cauliflowers, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specialized produce item—snowball cauliflower preserved through drying—but the most-recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried snowball cauliflowers or close equivalents. Instead, the opportunities logged under this code span broad food-service procurement for institutional kitchens: school nutrition programs sourcing fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and grocery items; correctional facilities purchasing dried beans, proteins, and pantry goods; and child nutrition programs acquiring beverages, paper goods, and mixed food supplies. These solicitations reflect routine institutional food service rather than sourcing of a particular dried vegetable variety. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source system or an artifact of how the state and local procurement database tags general grocery procurements.

The geographic footprint of the recent opportunities spans Texas (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program, Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products), Illinois (state IVHQ weekly food order), Oregon (Department of Corrections dried beans), Georgia (state fresh produce, Douglas County School System produce and eggs, Muscogee County School District fresh produce, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System produce), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services). The issuing bodies mix state departments and agencies, school districts, and county-level institutions. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Invitation for Bid for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026, estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried snowball cauliflowers specifically.
