UNSPSC 50412000: Organic broccoli

The type of organic vegetable known as organic broccoli

UNSPSC 50412000 Organic broccoli is a Class code that encompasses fresh produce procurement for state and local government operations, including schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and general food-service operations. State and local buyers under this code purchase fresh fruits and vegetables to support institutional food programs, concession operations, and healthcare nutrition services. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). The scope spans both dedicated produce purchases and broader food-supply aggregations that include produce alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and paper supplies. Vendors typically must comply with food-safety regulations, HACCP documentation, product-freshness guarantees, seasonal pricing adjustments, and delivery schedules tied to institutional operating hours.
