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, appears minimally in recent state and local procurement activity. The code itself describes a narrow specialty produce item — dried Chinese leafy greens — but the recent solicitations tagged under it cover broad food supply categories bearing no direct connection to dried yu choy specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) is soliciting food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, with scope spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, janitorial supplies, and storage products — a general grocery request unrelated to specialty dried produce. Similarly, the State of Illinois (IFB 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) solicitations are tagged generically as weekly and quarterly food orders without specification of dried yu choy or comparable items. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026, and S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) has posted bids for dried pinto and red beans — dried legumes, not dried vegetables — in substantial volumes (127,500 and 42,500 pounds respectively), representing the only commodity-specific dried goods procurement in the block. The remaining opportunities (Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products, Fairfax County Schools master grocery, Rockwood School District child nutrition services, and multiple Georgia school district produce contracts) encompass fresh and frozen staples, dairy, grains, and general grocery lines rather than specialty dried vegetables.

The issuing-body mix reflects school districts and corrections agencies as the primary buyers, with Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFPs 26-003 and 26-004, due February 18 and March 4, 2026, respectively) appearing as repeat buyers across multiple food-supply RFPs and IFBs. Geographic activity is concentrated in the South — Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia — with secondary activity in Oregon (corrections procurement) and Illinois (state food operations). Recent opportunities show no issuing body actively soliciting dried yu choy or items matching the code's nominal scope, indicating the code is either mislabeled in the posting system or sees negligible procurement interest under its intended definition at the state and local level.
