UNSPSC 50413604: Organic perfection fennel

The variety of organic fennel known as organic perfection fennel

UNSPSC 50413604 Organic perfection fennel, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty produce item—does not match the work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code cover broad school nutrition procurement: fresh produce distribution contracts spanning dozens of produce line items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, berries, citrus, tomatoes, eggs, and prepared produce options) delivered to school cafeterias, child nutrition programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. The mismatch suggests the code either is applied inconsistently in state and local systems or does not represent the actual procurement intent.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies—Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—with state departments (Georgia, state operations) appearing in a minority of solicitations. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies across three schools; Northside Independent School District's sealed-bid RFP (26RFP034, due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce and a la carte beverages across 127 school locations; Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP produce solicitation (IFB #4, due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables at 18 elementary schools with potential expansion to 20; and Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). All contracts emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, domestic sourcing preferences, and firm pricing for 12-month periods with renewal options.
