UNSPSC 50414019: Organic recao

The variety of organic herbs known as organic recao

UNSPSC 50414019 Organic cacao, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The source shows no relevant recent opportunities for organic cacao procurement by state and local government agencies; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span food service supply contracts for school nutrition, corrections facilities, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and institutional food service operations. These procurements request fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, bakery items, frozen foods, beverages, condiments, and consumable food service supplies — not specialty agricultural commodities like cacao. The mismatch suggests either a code-tagging error in the source data or that organic cacao represents a line item within broader food service supply catalogs that state and local agencies bid periodically but do not surface as standalone solicitations in current activity.

The recent opportunities instead concentrate on institutional food service supply and distribution across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state hospitals and supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System. These agencies issue annual or multi-year food supply contracts through RFP, IFB, and RFQ vehicles, typically with response windows of two to six weeks and contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $9 million annually. Award criteria emphasize price, vendor capability and performance history, specification compliance, and delivery performance. If organic cacao is actually being procured by state and local agencies, it appears embedded as a minor line item within larger food service contracts rather than solicited as a standalone commodity, making it difficult to assess current opportunity volume or demand under this code.
