UNSPSC 50412004: Organic chinese broccoli

The variety of organic broccoli known as organic chinese broccoli

UNSPSC 50412004 Organic chinese broccoli is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying fresh produce—primarily vegetables and fruits—for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and institutional food operations. The recent opportunities show that while the code nominally refers to a single produce item, school districts and state agencies are using it to tag broader fresh produce procurement solicitations that encompass dozens of line items including broccoli, apples, bananas, carrots, peppers, leafy greens, berries, and specialty produce. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (both independent and county systems) and state education or child nutrition departments; the mix includes large urban districts such as Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), as well as mid-sized and smaller county districts such as Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Early County, and Douglas County in Georgia, plus smaller systems in Missouri and Florida. State agencies in Georgia have also posted fresh produce solicitations tagged under this code. A handful of districts are organizing multi-district cooperative procurements: the Douglas County School System RFP covers 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with the densest cluster in Georgia (Early County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County all posting between February and May 2026), followed by Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), and single solicitations in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 line-by-line food bid (RFQ) covering 300+ food items with firm pricing for 15 days post-award and automatic renewal options for up to three years; Northside Independent School District's May 7, 2026 fresh produce RFP for delivery to 128 school sites across San Antonio at 35% price weighting and 25% product-availability weighting; Bulloch County School District's May 4, 2026 RFP for locally-grown produce (within 200 miles) supporting a Farm to School program across 14 schools; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's April 23, 2026 bid for 72 fresh produce items (including pre-cut and single-serve options) across 60 school sites; Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million; and Muscogee County School District's April 27, 2026 ITB for fresh produce with weekly delivery to multiple schools. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30, with renewal options for two to four additional one-year terms. Vendors face Buy American provisions, HACCP certification requirements, comprehensive liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum general liability), E-Verify compliance, and price-adjustment controls tied to USDA terminal market reports or Consumer Price Index data capped at 3–5% increases without documented justification.
