UNSPSC 50416106: Organic malabar spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic malabar spinach

UNSPSC 50416106 Organic malabar spinach is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items procured by state and local public bodies for food service operations. State and local governments buy produce under this code primarily through food-service and school-nutrition solicitations that name specific vegetable and fruit line items alongside broader fresh-foods contracts. The code captures both standalone produce procurement and produce specified as part of larger food-service packages. Issuing bodies include county recreation and parks departments operating food concessions, health-care coalitions managing institutional food service, state purchasing offices, and school districts sourcing for national meal programs. The recent opportunities show produce appearing in both highly specialized venue contexts—such as concession management at regional parks—and in standardized institutional procurement supporting school breakfast and lunch programs.

Activity spans multiple states and governance tiers. Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) naming approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits as part of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply; the district emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope and line items in attached documentation. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-specific RFQ on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) seeking qualified produce vendors for 2026-2027 with fresh fruit and vegetable delivery according to operational needs and seasonal availability. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including produce-based menu items, with a local-vendor preference of 10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County permanent addresses and a three-year contract term with two one-year renewal options.
