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, Commodity, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code identifies a specific dried vegetable product, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code or near it reflect broad food service procurement by school districts, correctional departments, and child care programs — school nutrition programs buying produce and grocery items through master supply contracts, detention facilities procuring dried beans and general cafeteria staples, and child care food programs sourcing five-category supply bundles. None of these solicitations name dried organic shantung cabbage as a line item or category; the tagged opportunities span fresh produce, dried legumes (pinto and red beans), proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and prepared entrees, but not specialty dried vegetables.

The recent activity under related commodity codes shows school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Douglas County) and state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) as the primary issuing bodies, with a child care program (City of Edinburg, Texas) and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts) also active. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with additional activity in Virginia and Missouri. Procurement volumes are substantial—Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12 contract covers 52 school sites with weekly deliveries; the Douglas County School System RFP estimates $9 million annually for food supply and distribution across 32 schools. If dried organic shantung cabbage is part of a broader dried-vegetable or specialty-ingredient category, vendors should track school nutrition and institutional food-service RFPs and IFBs that may include it within larger line-item menus, but current opportunities show no evidence of isolated demand for this commodity.
