UNSPSC 50411815: Organic castor beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic castor beans

UNSPSC 50411815 Organic castor beans is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow slice of state and local food procurement — primarily fresh produce and food-service supplies sourced by counties, school districts, and regional health coalitions. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show little activity focused specifically on organic castor beans; instead, they reflect broader food-service and produce sourcing by jurisdictions managing parks, schools, and healthcare operations. The scope of work varies widely across issuing bodies: county parks departments solicit food-service concessions with full operational management by vendors, school districts issue line-by-line commodity bids for produce and protein under the National School Lunch Program, and health coalitions seek fresh fruit and vegetable supply agreements. State education agencies also solicit food and kitchen supplies in bulk.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state-level and Early County Schools), and Marion County (Marion Health Care Coalition), with the school and county procurements representing the most structured and recurring demand. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference), Marion Health Care Coalition's produce vendor proposals (due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia food and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items for school meals programs (due June 8, 2026, with domestic sourcing preference and USDA compliance requirements). The code shows sporadic recent activity with no clear concentration; organic castor beans do not appear as a line item in any of the posted solicitations, suggesting either minimal state and local demand for this commodity or tagging misalignment between procurement notices and the UNSPSC classification.
