UNSPSC 50402303: Skunk cabbages

The type of vegetable known as skunk cabbage

UNSPSC 50402303 Skunk cabbages, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The sourced opportunities overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and related grocery items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child care operations — apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, produce mixes, and processed produce items. No recent solicitation references skunk cabbages or any comparable specialty produce item; the code's nominal scope bears no recognizable connection to what state and local governments are actually buying under the indexed records. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

The geographic and issuing-body profile reflects mainstream school nutrition procurement across the South, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic. School districts dominate the buyer mix — Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Salt Lake City School District (Utah) appear repeatedly, alongside state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), transit-adjacent agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and municipal human services divisions (City of San Antonio Department of Human Services). Most opportunities post in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Utah. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (deadline May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP program procurement (deadline March 11, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's standing IFBs for bulk vegetables and canned goods (deadlines in March and June 2026). The activity reflects established seasonal rhythms around school-year transitions and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding cycles, with contract terms typically running July through June.
