UNSPSC 50412401: Organic lunghi cardoons

The variety of organic cardoons known as organic lunghi cardoons

UNSPSC 50412401 Organic lunghi cardoons is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code show little activity aligned with that specific product. Instead, the code appears in broader food-service and produce-procurement solicitations where fresh fruits and vegetables feature as line items rather than the primary focus. State and local governments use this code when acquiring fresh produce as part of larger food-service contracts for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and other public operations. The issuing bodies include county governments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. The work being solicited ranges from general-produce supply agreements with seasonal pricing adjustments to comprehensive food-service concessions requiring menu variety, food-safety compliance, and customer service delivery across multiple venues.

Recent activity appears in Georgia, Florida, and unspecified locations where state and healthcare procurement offices are active. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, response due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring a vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options across concession facilities and a water park; the scope includes fresh produce as a component of broader food-service operations, with a three-year term and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB (bids due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with domestic sourcing preferences and Buy American compliance required. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce-vendor proposals (due August 21, 2026) covering fresh fruits and vegetables delivery with seasonal pricing. The State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with minimal scope detail in the public posting. The code shows modest recent activity, and opportunities tagged to it often reflect general-produce line items within larger food-service contracts rather than dedicated specialty-produce procurement.
