UNSPSC 50433016: Dried organic yau choy sum

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic yau choy sum that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433016 Dried organic yau choy sum is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific dried Asian vegetable product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show activity centered instead on dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — procured for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child care meal programs. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing bulk dried legumes for cafeteria operations, prison food services, and nutrition assistance programs, where the commodity serves as a protein staple in high-volume meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of criminal justice agencies, city procurement bureaus managing child and adult care food programs, and state education or institutional purchasing divisions. Georgia and Oregon show the most recent activity, with Georgia Correctional Industries bidding for kidney beans and the Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Oregon both soliciting dried bean products.

Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans to be delivered in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive pricing, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB (Solicitation S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans meeting U.S. No. 2 grade or better, triple-cleaned and palletized FOB destination to the Salem distribution center within 45 days of purchase order, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors. Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited cafeteria food products including multiple dried bean line items through the Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division (IFB 304T26300CF, originally due April 21, 2026 but extended via addendum to May 4, 2026), with FOB Destination to six TDCJ warehouses across Texas. The code shows steady institutional procurement activity but tracks misaligned commodity classification — the UNSPSC code name references yau choy sum, an unrelated dried Asian green, while actual solicitations center on common dried legume proteins for prison, school, and care facility meals.
