UNSPSC 50412909: Organic scarola verde chicory

The variety of organic chicory known as organic scarola verde chicory

UNSPSC 50412909 Organic scarola verde chicory is a Commodity code covering fresh vegetable procurement by state and local governments, particularly for food-service operations at parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public venues. Recent solicitations under this code reflect broader fresh-produce buying across multiple public sectors, where purchasing typically encompasses leafy greens, vegetables, and produce items meeting food-safety standards and, in many cases, domestic-sourcing or organic preferences. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division, Early County Board of Education, Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia all posted produce-related opportunities in the past six months. School districts appear as frequent buyers, soliciting vegetables and fresh produce as part of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, with emphasis on whole-grain, low-sodium, and additive-free items where applicable.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and likely other states represented in the Marion Health Care Coalition and Georgia state-level purchases. Collier County posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 response date, requiring concession vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple park venues; the scope includes a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 with a June 8, 2026 due date for approximately 300+ food items, including vegetables and fruits to support school meal programs across three schools, with domestic-sourcing emphasis and quality specifications on freshness and storage standards.
