UNSPSC 50423008: Dried kasumi bok choy

The variety of chinese cabbage known as kasumi that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423008 Dried kasumi bok choy (Commodity) shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a specific dried vegetable product, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code solicit dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto-red bean blends — for institutional food service at correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies, not bok choy. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all for dried vegetable commodities without precise product alignment. State and local buyers under this code family include correctional departments, state purchasing offices, city food service programs, and school-based child care operations. The work involves bulk dried-vegetable procurement for high-volume meal preparation, with all-inclusive pricing, palletized delivery, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards.

The most recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries issued an RFQ on October 2, 2026, for 880-bag increments of kidney beans with response due October 9, 2026, requiring full delivery cost embedded in bid price and complete specification sheets without compliance shortcuts. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026, for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-origin preference, triple-clean requirements, and FOB delivery to Salem within 45 days at a historical rate of $0.493 per pound. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food items including dried beans for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children under RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor 5% price preference. The State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order on June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026. These buyers emphasize product quality certification, strict delivery compliance, and institutional-scale volumes; however, the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement show limited correlation.
