UNSPSC 50416500: Organic turnip greens

The type of organic vegetable known as organic turnip greens

UNSPSC 50416500 Organic turnip greens, a Class code, encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitations show the code applies broadly to general fresh produce delivery rather than organic turnip greens specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county parks and recreation departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The work involves sourcing and delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to meet operational needs across food service, nutrition programs, and public facility operations, with emphasis on compliance with food safety regulations, seasonal pricing adjustments, and delivery schedules. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' procurement divisions managing concession food services at parks and recreation facilities, independent school districts procuring produce as part of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply chains, state governments purchasing for institutional food service, and regional healthcare coalitions supporting meal provision across their member organizations.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with examples in Florida, Georgia, and Marion County (jurisdiction not specified in source). Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, response due March 6, 2025) for food services including produce at North Collier Regional Park and associated concession facilities, with a local-vendor preference of 10 evaluation points and a three-year contract term plus two one-year renewals. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period with fresh fruit and vegetable delivery according to specified operational needs and quality standards. Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line bids (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the 2026-2027 school year under the National School Lunch Program, with domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium emphasis, and delivery Monday through Friday to three school locations. The State of Georgia also solicited bids on food supplies and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) with full scope contained in attached documentation.
