UNSPSC 50412800: Organic chards

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chards

UNSPSC 50412800 Organic chards is a Class code that state and local governments do not actively procure under this specific taxonomy designation. The recent-opportunities data shows no direct solicitations for organic chards or this code's nominal scope. Instead, state and local procurement activity tagged to this code spans broad fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs, including fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce items for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity name and the wide-ranging produce procurement captured in the data suggests either misclassification at the point of solicitation or a broader interpretation of the code in practice than the UNSPSC taxonomy implies. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with state departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles appearing in secondary roles.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Utah are the primary buyers under tagged opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) RFP for food vendors with response due June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with response due May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with response due March 11, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) IFB for grocery items with response due April 29, 2026; and Salt Lake City School District (Utah) IFB DH2647-FPD for fresh produce with response due April 1, 2026. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with renewal options, require Buy American compliance, demand HACCP certification and food safety documentation, specify weekly or multiple-times-weekly delivery to school sites, and price on a per-unit or per-case basis with annual firm pricing or periodic redetermination tied to USDA market reports.
