UNSPSC 50413015: Organic tip top cabbage

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic tip top cabbage

UNSPSC 50413015 Organic tip top cabbage is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not focus on organic cabbage or any single produce item. Instead, issuing bodies are using the code to solicit comprehensive fresh produce procurement — spanning dozens of line items including fruits, vegetables, and eggs — for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state operations. The work consists of supply, storage, and weekly or biweekly delivery of fresh produce to multiple school sites, central kitchens, and state facilities, with vendors responsible for temperature-controlled transport, HACCP compliance, food safety documentation, and adherence to USDA Buy American provisions and child nutrition reimbursement standards. School districts represent the dominant issuing bodies, with a secondary stream of state department solicitations for general institutional food supply.

The recent procurement activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with additional significant activity in Texas, Florida, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) RFP for line-by-line food and produce bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to all campuses five days per week, with proposals due May 7, 2026, and evaluation weighted 35% on price and 25% on meeting district needs; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for specialty fresh fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to 18 elementary schools, with proposals due March 11, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Smaller school districts and county systems compete alongside larger urban districts; the code shows no dominant single vendor or incumbent, with evaluation typically emphasizing lowest responsive bid, product quality, delivery reliability, and vendor experience with institutional food service.
