UNSPSC 50413002: Organic chinese flat-headed cabbage

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic chinese flat-headed cabbage

UNSPSC 50413002 Organic chinese flat-headed cabbage is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce procurement by state and local government food service operations, including school districts, county parks departments, health-care coalitions, and state purchasing entities. The code's nominal scope—organic bok choy and related asian brassicas—does not closely align with the actual recent procurement activity captured under this code, which spans broad fresh produce categories including vegetables, fruits, and produce generally. State and local issuing bodies are soliciting under this code primarily for food service operations serving schools, recreational facilities, healthcare settings, and institutional cafeterias. The work involves vendor selection for produce supply contracts with multi-item menus and delivery requirements, food-safety compliance and HACCP documentation, pricing structures that may adjust seasonally, and evaluation on vendor qualifications, product quality, delivery performance, and cost.

Recent activity appears across multiple states and jurisdiction types, with Early County Board of Education in Georgia posting a comprehensive FY27 food bid in May 2026 covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, and grains for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (bid due June 8, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posting an Invitation to Negotiate in October 2026 for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park including produce-heavy menu options (due March 6, 2025); Marion Health Care Coalition posting a produce-specific RFP in August 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026; and the State of Georgia posting a broader food and kitchen products bid in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026). School districts and county procurement offices form the core of recent issuing bodies, with smaller activity from regional health-care coalitions and state agricultural or food-service departments. A 10-point local-vendor preference in the Collier County solicitation and domestic-sourcing emphasis in the Early County school bid signal ongoing preference activity in state and local food procurement.
