UNSPSC 50432605: Dried organic early snowball cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic early snowball cauliflowers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432605 Dried organic early snowball cauliflowers, a Commodity code, shows little recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring dried legumes — pinto beans, red beans, black beans, and kidney beans — for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child-care meal programs, not cauliflower. The mismatch between the code name and recent buying activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in practice. Work being solicited under this code involves bulk procurement of dried, cleaned beans meeting USDA or comparable grading standards for cafeteria, prison, and subsidized meal operations, with delivery requirements typically specified as palletized shipments, FOB destination, or daily service to institutional kitchens.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), state purchasing offices (Georgia Correctional Industries, State of Georgia), state child-care agencies or municipal education entities (City of Edinburg, Texas for a Child and Adult Care Food Program), and state institutions such as the Illinois IVHQ facility. Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois posting IFB, RFQ, and RFP notices between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies including dried beans (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois with no evidence of national spread.
