UNSPSC 50432300: Dried organic cabbages

The type of organic vegetable known as organic cabbages that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432300 Dried organic cabbages is a Class code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's title and the solicitations posted against it show a significant mismatch: recent opportunities solicited food supply and distribution for school nutrition programs, institutional child care, corrections facilities, and state operations, spanning diverse commodity categories (fresh produce, dried beans, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, eggs, and prepared entrees) well beyond dried cabbages alone. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a municipal child care program (City of Edinburg, Texas). The actual purchasing pattern reflects institutional food service procurement for large-scale meal programs rather than a narrow produce category.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (school districts and TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with activity across Illinois and additional states represented in state-level solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (estimated annual expenditure $9,000,000, proposals due February 18, 2026), the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP Meal Program supply (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items, due August 4, 2026 with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051), the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities across five geographic areas (382 line items, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026), and the Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 for fresh produce (60 line items with pricing indexed to USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News, due April 27, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied specifically to dried organic cabbages.
