UNSPSC 50413514: Organic witloof zoom endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic witloof zoom endives

UNSPSC 50413514 Organic witloof zoom endives, Commodity code, describes a single specialty produce item (Belgian endive), yet the recent state and local procurement record under this code shows no direct solicitations for witloof endives or the narrowly named commodity itself. The available opportunities are tagged at this code level but reflect broad institutional fresh produce procurement across school districts and state agencies seeking to fill large-scale meal programs, not specialty vegetable sourcing. State and local governments do source fresh produce continuously through school nutrition programs and institutional food services, but the current activity recorded under this specific Commodity code does not isolate endive procurement or other narrowly scoped produce line items; instead, opportunities are consolidated under wider produce families and classes. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) among the repeat buyers posting RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs in the first quarter of 2026. State procurement offices in Georgia and Texas also appear in the record. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, with Georgia school districts accounting for a substantial share of recent volume.

Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-item RFB for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, due June 8, 2026, which covers approximately 300 food items including vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy across three schools; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to all district campuses five days per week (Monday through Friday) from August 10, 2026 through May 26, 2027, due May 7, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Activity under this Commodity code appears misaligned with the narrow endive specification—the opportunities are structured as multi-item institutional produce buys, not specialty vegetable line-item sourcing, and the code assignment does not reflect the current procurement reality for this issuer type and geography.
