UNSPSC 50423014: Dried shantung cabbage

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

UNSPSC 50423014 Dried shantung cabbage is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no recent opportunities specifically soliciting dried shantung cabbage; instead, state and local jurisdictions are pursuing broader food service contracts that encompass dried beans, fresh produce, and comprehensive meal programs where dried vegetables may appear as a line item within much larger food supply categories. The mismatch between the narrow commodity scope and the wide-ranging meal-service solicitations means this code does not reflect the actual purchasing pattern for dried shantung cabbage in state and local procurement.

Recent food service opportunities from school districts, state corrections systems, and municipal agencies span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, but they do not isolate dried shantung cabbage as a standalone procurement target. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds across March and June 2026, and school districts in Fairfax County (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Douglas County (Georgia) solicited comprehensive grocery and produce contracts with hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits—but none named dried shantung cabbage explicitly. The City of Edinburg, Texas and Illinois state operations issued meal-service solicitations covering beverages, paper goods, proteins, and vegetables, but without itemized dried-cabbage requirements. If dried shantung cabbage is being procured under this code, it is absorbed into larger pooled food-supply and meal-service contracts rather than bid as a standalone item.
