UNSPSC 50413508: Organic radice amare endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic radice amare endives

UNSPSC 50413508 Organic radice amare endives is a Commodity code that covers specialty fresh produce items supplied to state and local government food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and institutional cafeterias. State and local procurement under this code centers on direct supply of fresh vegetables—including endives and other specialty greens—to support child nutrition initiatives, school breakfast and lunch programs, and broader food service operations at the district and state level.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with procurement activity concentrated among mid-sized and large independent school systems across the South and Southwest. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting organic radice amare endives by name; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader fresh produce procurement spanning mixed vegetable categories. Georgia school districts—including Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and the cooperative procurement through Douglas County School System via the GEC Buying Cooperative—account for the largest concentration of recent activity. Texas school districts also show significant volume, with Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District all issuing RFPs for fresh produce in the February through April 2026 window. Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools and Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District round out the geographic spread. The code shows no state-level produce procurement among the recent opportunities; activity is exclusively school-district-driven. Representative recent solicitations include the Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 (sealed bids due April 14, 2026) covering 60 produce line items with weekly Tuesday delivery to 16 school locations; the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026) requesting fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 (sealed bids due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to all district campuses five days per week. All three solicitations require USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American preference where applicable, and competitive pricing indexed to USDA market reports, with awards typically made on a line-item basis to allow multiple vendors.
