UNSPSC 50413202: Organic nasturtium

The type of organic vegetable known as organic nasturtium

UNSPSC 50413202 Organic nasturtium is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity captured under it. The solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly cover fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, bell peppers, tomatoes, eggs, and other commodity produce staples—rather than specialty or ornamental items such as nasturtium flowers. The scope reflects institutional food service demand: school districts, regional cooperatives, and state agencies are soliciting produce to supply National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs across elementary, middle, and high schools. Vendors compete on unit pricing, delivery reliability, food safety compliance (HACCP certification, traceability, recall procedures), Buy American Act adherence, and product quality. The activity shows no meaningful connection to organic nasturtium as a product line; the code appears to be a tagging error or a legacy artifact that does not reflect current procurement intent.

Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems across the Southeast and Texas, with several state agencies and regional purchasing cooperatives (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One), Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce serving 83 elementary through specialty schools in San Antonio (due May 7, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items and 60 non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026), and the Salt Lake City School District's IFB DH2647-FPD for 60 produce line items across 38 facilities (due April 1, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Utah, with additional solicitations posted by school districts in Missouri, Florida, and across the Southeast. No recent opportunities support pursuit of this code for organic nasturtium supply; business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing produce opportunities in school nutrition or commodity food service.
