UNSPSC 50423000: Dried chinese cabbages

The type of vegetable known as chinese cabbages that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423000 Dried Chinese Cabbages, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it in recent state and local opportunities. The source contains no recent solicitations for dried Chinese cabbages specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad food-service procurement — cafeteria products, school nutrition groceries, fresh produce, dried beans, and meal-program supplies — none of which align with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the code name and the work being solicited suggests either misclassification in source tagging or that this code sits within a larger produce or dried-goods family that state and local procurement offices are using broadly. The actual buying activity spans school districts, state correctional systems, state education departments, and municipal child-care programs acquiring commodity foods in bulk for institutional meal service.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code 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 in Georgia), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state operations, Georgia state operations), and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas for child-care food programs). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026) and a June 2026 solicitation for an additional 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026), both via the OregonBuys system with a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB in May 2026 for cafeteria food products covering 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with school district food-service contracting (fresh produce, groceries, and prepared entrees) representing the largest share of recent solicitations. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Georgia Education Cooperative (GEC) Buying Cooperative appear in school-district RFPs serving multi-district networks.
