UNSPSC 50413102: Organic common chives

The variety of organic vegetable known as organic chives

UNSPSC 50413102 Organic common chives is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce, specifically organic chive products, supplied to state and local food service operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions that operate food-service programs. The recent opportunities show chives purchased as part of broader fresh-produce or food-service bids that include vegetables, fruits, and other perishable items. Issuing bodies include K–12 school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts, county parks departments operating concession food services, state procurement offices, and healthcare provider networks sourcing produce for operational food service. School districts are the most active segment, with districts specifying domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain or low-sodium formulations in related categories, and USDA compliance for meal programs.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast, with Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting a FY27 food bid on May 11, 2026 (bids due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for three schools across July 2026 through June 2027; the State of Georgia posted a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026); Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce vendor solicitation on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025, indicating a likely posting error in the source date). School districts and counties typically issue IFBs or line-by-line bids requiring firm pricing with transportation and packing included, minimum insurance thresholds ($500,000 general liability common), E-Verify compliance, and food-safety certification. Geographic concentration among recent postings is limited; the sample spans Georgia and Florida with no other states represented.
