UNSPSC 50426867: Dried yu choy

The type of vegetable known as yu choy that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426867 Dried yu choy, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a single dried vegetable product, but the most recent solicitations tagged under it request kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and general food supplies for institutional meal programs—none of which are yu choy. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily correctional agencies, state purchasing departments, and local school or food-service authorities buying dried legumes and institutional food supplies for cafeteria and correctional-facility meal programs. The scope of work being solicited includes bulk dried beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red varieties) in quantities ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, supplied with delivery and all-inclusive pricing for institutional cooking and meal preparation, often meeting USDA grading and food-safety standards including triple-cleaning specifications, foreign-material thresholds, and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries issued an RFQ for 880 bags of kidney beans due October 9, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned and meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade, with bids due June 19, 2026, and a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered suppliers. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due August 21, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans, grains, proteins, and dairy for six distribution points across Texas, with responses due May 4, 2026 after an Addendum No. 2 extension, FOB Destination pricing, and a contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal program supplies including food products, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies for approximately 400 children daily with daily Monday-through-Friday deliveries required, proposals due August 4, 2026, and a local-vendor preference of 5% price consideration for City of Edinburg bidders under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051.
