UNSPSC 50407032: Hop sprouts

The type of vegetable known as hop sprouts

UNSPSC 50407032 Hop sprouts (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers hop sprouts, a specialty agricultural product, but the 20-plus state and local solicitations posted between February and July 2026 and tagged under or adjacent to this code center almost exclusively on fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service—apples, bananas, carrots, potatoes, produce boxes, and cafeteria vegetables. Only three opportunities directly name single produce items (carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes) sourced by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for institutional canning and food service, while the remainder cover broad fresh fruit and vegetable programs, school meal compliance, and farm-to-school initiatives with no hop-sprout content.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Northside Independent, Hillsborough County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Henry County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Meriden Public Schools, Austin Independent, Douglas County and others in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri), along with state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), a Head Start organization, and a city senior services division. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with scattered activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a July 29, 2026 response date, featuring a 5% preference for Wisconsin-certified diverse-owned vendors; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce to 117 campuses in the San Antonio area, due May 7, 2026, with pricing anchored to USDA market reports; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs (IW253079, IW253121, IW253099) for carrots, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes, all due June 23, 2026, supporting institutional cafeteria operations. The code does not reflect active state and local demand for hop sprouts as a distinct procurement category.
