UNSPSC 50412003: Organic broccoli raab

The variety of organic broccoli known as organic broccoli raab

UNSPSC 50412003 Organic broccoli raab (Commodity) represents a narrow single produce line item that state and local governments procure as part of broader fresh produce contracts for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations confirm that while the code nominally covers organic broccoli raab specifically, state and local buyers source this item within comprehensive produce procurement frameworks that encompass dozens of fruits, vegetables, and related food products. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted produce solicitations recently. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio represents a notably large buyer in the base. State agencies appear less frequently; Georgia issued at least two commodity-level fresh produce bids. The work being solicited is the supply and weekly or twice-weekly delivery of fresh produce to school cafeterias and central food service warehouses, with pricing typically indexed to USDA market reports, firm pricing for contract periods, and compliance requirements including HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and insurance.

Georgia dominates recent geographic activity, with at least seven school districts and state procurement offices posting produce bids between February and May 2026. Texas shows secondary activity (Northside ISD, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), followed by Florida, Missouri, and scattered single-district procurements in other states. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting an RFQ on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for line-by-line food and produce bids under the National School Lunch Program with 300+ food line items and domestic sourcing preferences; Northside Independent School District (Texas) issuing RFP 2026-048 on April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to 47 schools in San Antonio with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown preferences; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) soliciting an IFP on April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026, for 24 produce items grown within 200 miles under a Farm to School program; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) posting RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, for approximately 72 produce line items and eggs serving 30 districts across two regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. These procurements typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options and require vendors to meet strict delivery schedules, temperature control, traceability, and food safety documentation.
