UNSPSC 50413001: Organic bok choy

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chinese cabbages

UNSPSC 50413001 Organic bok choy, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement for fresh produce supplied to food service operations across parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and state agencies. The recent opportunities show that while the code nominally targets a specific vegetable, state and local issuing bodies use it as a catch-all tag for broader produce procurement—fresh fruits, vegetables, and produce items delivered on contract to support cafeteria, concession, and institutional food programs. The scope spans one-time competitive bids for seasonal or annual supply, line-by-line pricing on dozens of produce SKUs, and performance requirements including food safety compliance, delivery windows, temperature control, stock rotation, and documentation of freshness and sourcing origin. Issuing bodies range from county parks and recreation divisions managing concession operations, to school districts running National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, to state procurement offices, to healthcare coalitions supplying institutional kitchens.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with posted opportunities from Collier County (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) between May and October 2026. The Early County Board of Education ITB (due June 8, 2026) exemplifies the scale: line-by-line bids for 300+ food items across meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and supplies, with deliveries to three schools Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., firm pricing for 15 days post-award, and escalation tied to USDA or CPI indices. The Collier County ITN (due March 6, 2025) for North Collier Regional Park concessions sought food vendor qualifications and menu variety (35 evaluation points of 100 total) with a local-vendor preference worth 10 points for businesses meeting county or adjacent-county residency and permanence criteria. Georgia's state-level bid (due June 22, 2026) and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal (due August 21, 2026) indicate ongoing demand for vendor diversity and flexible seasonal sourcing across institutional customers.
