UNSPSC 50433013: Dried organic shanghai d bok choy

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic shanghai d bok choy that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433013 Dried organic shanghai d bok choy is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring bulk dried beans and legumes—kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and related dried legume products—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs rather than the specific bok choy variety named in the code. Recent solicitations show dried beans are bought in large bulk quantities (42,500 pounds in a single Oregon procurement, 880-bag increments for Georgia) with strict USDA grading standards, moisture limits, foreign-material thresholds, and triple-cleaning requirements to ensure food safety and consistency across institutional meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies, and municipal child nutrition programs. The work involves specification compliance, FOB destination delivery to central distribution centers or multiple warehouse sites, and product certifications documenting FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, through the OregonBuys system, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and bidders headquartered there; delivery to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem required palletized loads of no more than 2,500 pounds FOB destination within 45 days of purchase order receipt, with the incumbent contractor Intersect USA having priced product at $0.493 per pound in August 2025. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight or tariff reimbursement and strict specification-sheet completion without compliance shortcuts. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB (304T26300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning multiple categories with May 4, 2026 response deadline, with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas and a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee on all purchases. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited proposals for CACFP meal program supplies under RFP 2026-017 with a local-vendor preference and August 4, 2026 deadline. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with an August 21, 2026 response deadline. The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for the July-September quarter (FY-27 IVHQ) with a June 26, 2026 deadline.
