UNSPSC 50483116: Yau choy sum purees

The variety of chinese cabbage known as yau choy sum which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483116 Yau choy sum purees is a Commodity code that captures leafy vegetable preparations and preserved produce for institutional food service. State and local governments soliciting under this code rarely name it explicitly; instead, they tag broad food-procurement RFQs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs that include yau choy sum alongside dozens or hundreds of other shelf-stable, frozen, fresh, and prepared food items for cafeteria, hospital, correctional facility, and senior services operations. The code sits within a larger family of institutional foodservice buying that spans preserved vegetables, prepared meals, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state prison systems, county and municipal school districts, county nutrition programs, and special-purpose state facilities including state hospitals and state supported living centers. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerge as repeat buyers in recent months, as do Georgia and Oregon school districts and county purchasing offices.
