UNSPSC 50424202: Dried collard greens

The variety of kale known as collard greens that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424202 Dried collard greens (Commodity) sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity, with the code showing limited direct relevance to the opportunities currently posted. The recent solicitations tagged to this code predominantly seek dried beans — kidney beans, pinto and red beans, and black beans — for institutional food service rather than collard greens specifically. State and local governments buying under this commodity tier purchase dried, shelf-stable produce items for bulk meal preparation in correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state-run institutions. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices procuring for multiple agencies, and municipal governments supporting nutrition programs; repeat buyers include the State of Oregon Department of Corrections and Georgia Correctional Industries.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans (880-bag increments, response due October 9, 2026) and a broader food-supplies solicitation (response due June 22, 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal-program ingredients including proteins, produce, and nonfood items (response due August 4, 2026 with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051); and the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds, response due June 19, 2026, with 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit for manufacturing and headquarters location). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and produce with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. The code shows light recent activity overall and a mismatch between the nominal commodity (dried collard greens) and the beans-focused opportunities presently solicited.
