UNSPSC 50413513: Organic verona endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic verona endives

UNSPSC 50413513 Organic verona endives is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce items, particularly specialty vegetables and organic produce, procured by state and local food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code being applied to broader produce procurement rather than endives specifically — the opportunities reflect procurement of fresh vegetables and fruits by parks departments, healthcare coalitions, state food services, and school districts operating food service programs. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), healthcare facility networks (Marion Health Care Coalition), state purchasing offices (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Work under this code covers delivery of fresh produce meeting quality and food-safety standards, often with seasonal pricing adjustments and requirements for documented freshness guarantees, HACCP compliance, and adherence to domestic-sourcing and nutrition preferences where applicable.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 response deadline, emphasizing menu variety and local-vendor preferences. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Georgia state procurement office posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. School districts and county health and parks departments appear to be the most active recent buyers under this code.
