UNSPSC 50412805: Organic swiss chard

The variety of organic chard known as organic swiss chard

UNSPSC 50412805 Organic swiss chard is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce procurement — specifically leafy greens and other vegetables — sourced by state agencies, school districts, healthcare facilities, and county recreation departments for food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to procure fresh produce as part of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone organic commodity purchases. The work involves meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, and volume requirements for institutional feeding programs serving schools, healthcare facilities, parks, and regional operations.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), state departments (State of Georgia), county governments (Collier County), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (IFB, due June 8, 2026), which encompasses 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain options; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, due March 6, 2025), which requires diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues including concession facilities; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals for 2026-2027 (RFP, due August 21, 2026), seeking fresh fruits and vegetables with delivery and quality standards; and the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (IFB, due June 22, 2026). School districts and state procurement offices dominate recent activity, with meal programs driving baseline volume and seasonal tournament demand creating peaks at parks and recreation facilities.
