UNSPSC 50423016: Dried yau choy sum

The variety of chinese cabbage known as yau choy sum that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423016 Dried yau choy sum is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to this code—the Illinois quarterly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, posted June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026)—provides no details on quantities, specifications, or whether dried yau choy sum was actually included in the weekly food supply request. The remaining opportunities in the source are tagged to related food-procurement codes or broader grocery categories but do not reference dried yau choy sum specifically. State and local buyers in the source materials are soliciting dried beans (Oregon Department of Corrections), fresh produce (Georgia and Georgia school districts), cafeteria food products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), grocery items (Texas, Missouri, and Virginia school districts), and institutional meal programs (Texas CACFP, Illinois state facilities), but dried yau choy sum does not appear in any of these documented procurements.

The mismatch between the code's specific commodity name and actual buying patterns suggests either sparse demand for this particular dried vegetable within state and local food service, or systematic tagging misalignment in procurement notices. The issuing bodies represented in the source—state departments of corrections, state agencies, school districts, and municipal child nutrition programs across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon—typically procure commodity dried goods in bulk through standardized institutional food service catalogs rather than specialty or regional produce items. No representative recent opportunity for dried yau choy sum can be drawn from these records. Business development professionals should investigate whether this code is actively used in their target jurisdictions and whether demand exists for this commodity outside the recorded procurement notices.
