UNSPSC 50416404: Organic brandywine tomatoes

The variety of organic tomates known as organic brandywine tomatoes

UNSPSC 50416404 Organic brandywine tomatoes, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce sourcing for state and local food service operations — primarily school nutrition programs, healthcare facility cafeterias, county parks concessions, and regional foodservice cooperatives. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh vegetables and fruits to meet USDA nutrition standards, health and safety compliance, and operational delivery requirements across multiple venues and seasonal demand cycles. The issuing bodies span school districts (responsible for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance), county parks and recreation departments managing concession operations, healthcare coalitions, and state-level procurement offices aggregating food-service needs across institutional facilities. The work involves vendor qualification around food safety certifications, HACCP plan compliance, product freshness guarantees, delivery scheduling, temperature-maintenance standards, and adherence to domestic-sourcing and nutritional-formulation preferences.

Recent activity shows early-career momentum across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid (ITB, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits meeting whole-grain and low-sodium specifications for three schools, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals for the 2026-2027 period (due August 21, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), a multi-venue concession operation requiring diverse food and beverage options; the ITN offered local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and a three-year contract term with two one-year renewal options. School districts and county agencies dominate the issuing-body mix; the procurement timeline shows sustained quarterly activity from May through October 2026.
