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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code's nominal scope—dried yau choy sum, a leafy Asian vegetable product—does not match the solicitations tagged to this code, which instead cover dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), cafeteria food products, CACFP meal program supplies, and institutional food procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state departments of corrections (Oregon), child care and food-service programs (City of Edinburg CACFP), and institutional meal-service providers. The issuing bodies span state purchasing offices, correctional systems, and municipal/nonprofit entities in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois.

Recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries soliciting 880-bag increments of kidney beans with an October 9, 2026 response deadline (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027); the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline and a combined 10% Oregon-origin preference (S2910000017140); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issuing an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic regions with a May 4, 2026 deadline (IFB 304T26300CF). The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies serving approximately 400 children with an August 11, 2026 deadline and a 5% local-vendor preference (RFP2026017). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (yau choy sum) and actual procurement activity (dried beans and institutional food) suggests either systematic miscoding in the source system or category-definition drift that has widened the scope beyond the original product specification.
