UNSPSC 50412802: Organic lucullus chard

The variety of organic chard known as organic lucullus chard

UNSPSC 50412802 Organic lucullus chard, a Commodity code, appears in state and local solicitations primarily as part of broader fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, though the code shows minimal standalone activity specific to this individual leafy-green variety. Recent solicitations frame the purchasing context as institutional food service requiring diverse fresh produce inventories—fruits, vegetables, and eggs—rather than line items targeting a single produce type. School districts, county boards of education, and a small number of state procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies, with established procurement patterns emphasizing USDA Child Nutrition compliance, Buy American sourcing, and delivery schedules that accommodate weekly or twice-weekly replenishment across multiple school sites.

Georgia dominates recent solicitation activity under this code's broader produce family, with multiple school nutrition RFPs and IFBs posted from Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Bulloch County, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System between February and May 2026, alongside state-level produce procurement from the State of Georgia. Texas school districts including Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, and Northside ISD (San Antonio) also posted fresh-produce solicitations during the same window. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) procuring fresh produce and eggs for a 30-district cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas, and the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (posted March 16, 2026, due April 14, 2026) seeking weekly fresh-produce delivery to 16 school locations. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) encompasses approximately 300 food items including vegetables, with emphasis on low-sodium, whole-grain, and no-added-sugar formulations. The code itself does not generate solicitations targeting organic lucullus chard as a discrete line item; procurement under this code occurs as part of composite fresh-produce awards where district food-service directors specify pack sizes, quantities, and product varieties on a line-item basis at bid time, making activity pursuit dependent on participation in multi-item school nutrition contracts rather than single-commodity sourcing.
