UNSPSC 50433014: Dried organic shantung cabbage

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic shantung that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433014 Dried organic shantung cabbage is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers dried legumes and bulk institutional food staples for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state agency meal services. The actual purchasing activity under this code spans dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food supply bundles including proteins, grains, dairy, and produce, and related cafeteria staples sourced in bulk quantities for institutional cooking and compliance with USDA, FDA, and program-specific nutritional standards. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions procuring on behalf of multiple agencies, municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state educational or food-service entities. The scope reflects institutional volume purchases with strict specifications on grading, cleaning standards (triple-cleaned beans are common), moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, packaging (palletized deliveries with specified pallet specifications), and compliance with food-safety regulations including HACCP, USDA, and USDC standards.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026; the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal-program food and nonfood supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial supplies) serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, due August 4, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation for bids on approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 at the OregonBuys system with a combined 10% Oregon-preference evaluation; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five Texas distribution areas due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum). Delivery requirements are consistent across solicitations—all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight or surcharge line items, rapid turnaround (daily deliveries or within 45 days of purchase order), compliance certification, and often pre-bid communication restrictions. The code shows active institutional procurement with repeat buyer patterns in correctional and school-nutrition contexts.
