UNSPSC 50317023: Organic monstera

The type of organic fruit known as organic monstera

UNSPSC 50317023 Organic monstera is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show no solicitation activity aligned with procurement of houseplants or ornamental vegetation. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code uniformly solicit fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and eggs—for school nutrition programs across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (organic monstera plants) and the actual procurement activity (fresh fruit and vegetables for institutional food service) suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a code that does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.

The geographic spread of confirmed fresh produce procurement spans Georgia (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, and Douglas County School System), Texas (McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with nutrition programs issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for weekly or annual fresh produce supply contracts. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 annual value; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One, bids due March 4, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026. The code shows substantial, recent activity in school nutrition procurement but carries a classification error that business development professionals should verify against their own commodity taxonomy before pursuing opportunities under this code designation.
