UNSPSC 50413011: Organic ruffles bok choy

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic ruffles bok choy

UNSPSC 50413011 Organic ruffles bok choy is a Commodity code. State and local school districts and county education systems procure fresh produce—including leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, and related items—primarily to support child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP). While the code name specifies organic ruffles bok choy, recent solicitations show school nutrition services purchasing broad categories of fresh produce on line-item or comprehensive produce contracts rather than single-SKU sourcing; bok choy and similar leafy greens appear as line items within larger fresh produce specifications rather than sole procurement drivers. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri, with occasional state-level procurement for institutional operations. Representative solicitations include the Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition due May 7, 2026; the Bulloch County School District (Georgia) IFP for locally-grown produce due May 4, 2026; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid for annual school nutrition fresh produce covering 72 line items due April 23, 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where multiple school districts and county education systems—including Liberty County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, and others—issued fresh produce invitations between February and May 2026. Texas shows secondary activity through McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Northside ISD. Florida and Missouri school districts also posted recent solicitations. Across these jurisdictions, school districts uniformly require HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, temperature-controlled delivery within narrow morning windows (typically 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM), weekly or monthly pricing adjustments tied to USDA market reports or CPI indices, and firm pricing for initial contract periods ranging from one to multiple years. Insurance requirements are standard (general liability from $1 million to $2 million), and many districts reserve the right to award line items to multiple vendors based on lowest responsive pricing. Contract values vary widely—the Douglas County cooperative procurement through GEC estimates $4.4 million for one geographic area—but specific dollar ranges are rarely disclosed in solicitation summaries. Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are not explicitly named in most recent notices, though some districts (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) actively encourage small and local business participation and provide scoring incentives for in-state or geographically proximate sourcing.
