UNSPSC 50412301: Organic black cabbages

The variety of organic cabbages known as organic black cabbage

UNSPSC 50412301 Organic black cabbages (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single produce item—organic black cabbage—but recent solicitations tagged with this code are pursuing institutional food service contracts for broad commodity purchases including dozens to hundreds of line items spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. The mismatch is systematic: every recent opportunity under this code is a school nutrition procurement, state food supply, or child nutrition program buy, not a targeted sourcing effort for a specific vegetable variety.

State and local school districts and education-related purchasing bodies dominate the activity, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, 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). Recent notices—from Early County Board of Education (Georgia, ITB due June 8, 2026), Northside ISD (RFP due May 7, 2026), and Bulloch County (IFP due May 4, 2026)—represent institutional food service contracts requiring sealed or electronic bids with line-item evaluation, delivery scheduling five to seven days per week, HACCP compliance, insurance and debarment certifications, and firm pricing for annual contract terms with renewal options. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida and Missouri. The code's nominal scope (organic black cabbage) bears no evident relation to the institutional food procurement work being solicited, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local databases or use of the code as a default catch-all for produce and food service categories.
