UNSPSC 50413202: Organic nasturtium

The type of organic vegetable known as organic nasturtium

UNSPSC 50413202 Organic nasturtium, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce items procured by state and local governments for food service operations, including schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and county services. State and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for fresh vegetables and fruits delivered to institutional food-service settings, with vendors expected to meet food-safety compliance, quality standards, and delivery timelines. Issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program illustrates typical scope: line-by-line bidding for vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, and non-food supplies, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' March 6, 2025 ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park required fresh food and beverage options across multiple venues; and the Marion Health Care Coalition's August 21, 2026 RFQ sought produce vendors for the 2026-2027 period with fresh fruits and vegetables delivered according to operational needs and quality standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with supporting demand from healthcare procurement coalitions. The State of Georgia posted a May 15, 2026 IFB for food supplies and kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued the IFB cited above; delivery runs Monday through Friday with temperature-controlled milk requirements (33F to 40F) and 10-14 day minimum sell-by rotation. Collier County (Florida) and Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion County, Florida) represent county and regional healthcare procurement. Pricing in school-district solicitations must include packing and transportation with no separate fuel charges; contracts typically run July through June with renewal options and firm pricing for 15 days post-award, thereafter subject to escalation or de-escalation requests backed by USDA or CPI data. Local-vendor preferences and set-asides for certified woman and minority business enterprises appear in evaluation criteria. Vendors must carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), comply with E-Verify, maintain HACCP plans, and allow piggybacking by peer jurisdictions on identical terms.
