UNSPSC 50413505: Organic grumolo verde endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic grumolo verde endives

UNSPSC 50413505 Organic grumolo verde endives (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local procurement offices soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and county educational systems pursuing fresh produce supply contracts for child nutrition programs, but the recent opportunities on record name endives explicitly in none of the solicitations. Instead, the available record documents school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce broadly—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, berries, and eggs—without specification of endive varieties or organic certification in the scope or bid line items. The single most recent general-produce opportunity is the Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 (response due April 27, 2026), which covers approximately 60 produce line items but does not itemize endives; similarly, Early County Board of Education and Liberty County Board of Education school nutrition RFPs and IFBs list standard institutional produce baskets without calling out specialty or organic greens by botanical name.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, where Douglas County School System (serving 30 school districts across two areas), Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Bulloch County School District all posted fresh-produce solicitations between February and April 2026. Texas school districts including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District posted competing solicitations for fresh produce in the same window. Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce (response due March 11, 2026), and the State of Georgia itself posted multiple produce-procurement IFBs. However, none of these opportunities specifies endives—organic or conventional—as a line item, bid category, or performance requirement. The code's narrow commodity definition does not align with the institutional scale or product mix actually being solicited, suggesting either miscategorization in source data or minimal genuine demand for organic grumolo verde endives through state and local child nutrition channels.
