UNSPSC 50467008: Green onion kimchi

UNSPSC 50467008 Green onion kimchi is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code shows no relevant solicitations among recent posted opportunities; the opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit broad grocery and food service supplies spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and consumables — not kimchi or fermented vegetable products specifically. State and local issuing bodies using related food procurement codes include state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school districts, and county nutrition programs across Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent food procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (HHS0017660, bids due July 27, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 solicitation for 45 schools (IFB 2000004323, bids due April 27, 2026), and Illinois Department of Corrections commissary procurements across multiple vendors (Vistar, Keefe, Union Supply, Walkenhorst, E-Ford) issued in emergency and final-cost cycles through mid-2026. The sourcing pattern reflects demand for high-volume food distribution to institutional facilities rather than specialty or regional food products.

The code sees activity concentrated in school nutrition programs, state hospital food service, and correctional facility commissary operations, with issuing bodies typically posting annual or multi-year term contracts requiring delivery to multiple locations, compliance with Buy American provisions and USDA nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustment allowances. Procurement vehicles include traditional IFBs and RFPs through state agencies and school districts, cooperative purchasing through university group purchasing organizations (as seen in Illinois IDOC emergency procurements via University of Illinois USG), and dedicated platforms such as OregonBuys and OpenGov e-procurement portals. Geographic activity clusters in the South (Texas, Georgia), Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Northeast (Connecticut, Virginia), with the most recent high-volume solicitations appearing in Texas institutional feeding and Illinois emergency correctional commissary purchases. The absence of green onion kimchi–specific solicitations suggests the code assignment may reflect database tagging inconsistency rather than active procurement intent for this commodity.
