UNSPSC 50467011: Godeulppaegi kimchi

Kimchi made from a mixture of seasonings.

UNSPSC 50467011 Godeulppaegi kimchi is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify a specific preserved vegetable product, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears little relation to the code's nominal scope. The overwhelming recent activity shows institutional food service procurement—primarily state health and human services departments, county school boards, and municipal school districts—buying comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts for cafeterias, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior meal programs, and child care facilities. These solicitations routinely tag dozens of commodity codes together within a single IFB or RFP, rendering individual code-level activity difficult to isolate; the godeulppaegi kimchi code appears as a taxonomic artifact rather than a distinct buying signal. When a single code is meant to capture a narrow product category but is bundled with hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, frozen foods, and disposables, the code alone does not usefully characterize what procurement managers are actually sourcing at the operational level.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), multiple Georgia county school boards (Tattnall, Hancock, Ben Hill, Candler, Colquitt, Early, Burke, Effingham, Richmond), Texas school districts (Northside Independent, Head Start of Greater Dallas), the City of New Haven Board of Education, Invest Atlanta, Pasco County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, and scattered one-off solicitations across other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products to state hospitals and supported living centers (posted July 17, 2026, bids due August 18, 2026, approximately $9 million annual estimated volume), the Tattnall County Board of Education sealed-bid procurement for school nutrition food products for SY 2026–2027 (posted July 13, 2026, bids due July 22, 2026), the City of New Haven RFP for grocery and food items serving 17,500–19,000 meals daily across 224 service days (posted June 17, 2026, RFP due June 16, 2026, with a mandatory 25 percent MWBE participation requirement), and Pasco County's RFP for senior congregate and home-delivered meal production services (posted May 1, 2026, proposals due June 9, 2026). The code shows no distinctive recent activity that would warrant targeting it as a separate procurement avenue; vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts should monitor broader institutional food service RFPs and IFBs at the Family or Class code level rather than individual commodity classifications.
