UNSPSC 50434202: Dried organic collard greens

The variety of organic kale known as organic collard greens that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434202 Dried organic collard greens is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not match its scope. The opportunities in the source solicitation beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red varieties), institutional food products for cafeteria and correctional-facility meal programs, and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) supplies — none of which are dried collard greens. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity classification.

Across the six opportunities present in the source, issuing bodies include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), a state department of criminal justice (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Statewide Procurement Division), a state institution with quarterly bulk food needs (Illinois), a state higher-education or institutional buyer (Oregon), and a municipal government (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic concentration spans the Southeast and Southwest, with activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans (response due October 9, 2026), the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies including beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, fruits, vegetables, and janitorial products (proposals due August 4, 2026 with a local-vendor preference of 5% price variance), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans graded U.S. No. 2 or better, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days (bids due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% in-state preference applied for evaluation). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items of proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and staple items across five geographic distribution areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum, with contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals) represents the largest and most complex solicitation in the group.
