UNSPSC 50414603: Organic eddoes malanga

The variety of organic malanga known as organic eddoes malanga

UNSPSC 50414603 Organic eddoes malanga is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce — fruits, vegetables, and specialty root crops including eddoes and malanga — through food service contracts for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and institutional dining operations. The solicitations under this code show procurement of fresh produce as part of broader food-service bundles; the code captures individual produce line items within comprehensive food and beverage supply agreements rather than standalone specialty-crop procurement. Issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent opportunities, sourcing produce to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple sites.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with solicitations from Georgia (state-level procurement and Early County Schools), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Marion Health Care Coalition in an unspecified state. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits delivered Monday through Friday with domestic-sourcing preferences and no added sugars or artificial additives; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a due date of March 6, 2025, requiring qualified vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a three-year term and two one-year renewal options; a 10-point local-vendor preference applies to vendors meeting Collier or Lee County permanent business address criteria.
