UNSPSC 50432301: Dried organic black cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50432301 Dried organic black cabbages is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with the nominal code scope. The solicitations actually procuring dried beans — pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties — for institutional food service and correctional facilities represent the bulk of recent activity. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring bulk dried legumes for cafeteria meal programs, correctional-facility kitchens, child and adult care food programs, and state institutional food service. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon), city and county government food-service operations (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state agencies procuring for multiple institutional locations (Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouses).

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due June 19, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST through the OregonBuys system (S2910000017140, IFB); Georgia Correctional Industries issuing an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (92100ERFQ0020612027); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products including dried beans and approximately 382 additional line items across five geographic distribution points, extended to May 4, 2026 (304T26300CF). Dried-bean procurements typically include triple-cleaning and USDA grading compliance, FOB destination delivery to institutional warehouses or distribution centers, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement. Oregon offers a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and bidders headquartered in Oregon; Texas applies SmartBuy administrative fees to purchases.
