UNSPSC 50423010: Dried rosette bok choy

The variety of chinese cabbage known as rosette bok choy that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423010 Dried rosette bok choy is a Commodity code that state and local governments cite in solicitations for institutional food procurement, though recent opportunities in the public record show minimal direct demand for the dried bok choy variety itself. Instead, the code appears in a sourcing landscape dominated by dried legumes—kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans—and broader institutional food supply contracts serving correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agency meal services. State purchasing offices, correctional departments, and municipal food service programs are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations typically specifying bulk quantities, USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), palletization requirements, and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites. Pricing is all-inclusive, absorbing freight, fuel surcharges, and handling with no separate reimbursement permitted. Evaluation emphasizes price competitiveness, vendor performance history, compliance with nutritional and safety specifications, and delivery timeliness.

Recent opportunities cluster in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon fabrication or headquarters location and naming the incumbent contractor (Intersect USA) at $0.493 per pound in August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries posted RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies across five categories (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, nonfood items) serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procured on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice under IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to six distribution points, with response extended to May 4, 2026. None of these recent opportunities explicitly reference dried rosette bok choy; the code shows little relevant recent activity despite the institutional food sourcing activity visible under related dried-vegetable and legume categories.
