UNSPSC 50412801: Organic fordhook giant chard

The variety of organic chard known as organic fordhook giant chard

UNSPSC 50412801 Organic fordhook giant chard is a Commodity code that does not appear in the recent state and local procurement record. The source contains no opportunities matching this specific produce item or a closely related fresh vegetable line; the recent solicitations surveyed instead focus on broad institutional produce procurement spanning multiple produce categories for school nutrition programs.

School districts, county school systems, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are actively soliciting fresh produce and complementary food items to support child nutrition programs, but none of the posted opportunities isolates organic chard or any single vegetable variety as a standalone line item. Instead, purchasing bodies issue consolidated RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for comprehensive fresh produce supply covering dozens of line items—apples, bananas, leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, and eggs—bundled into annual contracts. Early County Board of Education (IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) and Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02 PE66310NONST2027000000025, due April 14, 2026) both solicit across approximately 60 produce line items; Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) manages a cooperative procurement covering approximately 72 line items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for one region. Institutional buyers evaluate on lowest responsive bid, product quality, vendor capacity to meet weekly or monthly delivery schedules (typically Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), and compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and insurance requirements. No opportunities target organic certification, specialty produce varieties, or single-item sourcing—all emphasize commodity-grade institutional supply. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; organic specialty chard does not register as a discretely procured category in state and local school nutrition or institutional foodservice buying.
