UNSPSC 50416801: Organic aloha corn

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chrysanthemum greens

UNSPSC 50416801 Organic aloha corn is a Commodity code representing a specific produce line item, though recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect organic aloha corn specifically. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad fresh produce procurement where the specific commodity is one line item among dozens of varieties. School districts, county education systems, and state purchasing offices are the primary issuing bodies seeking fresh produce under this taxonomy tier. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's food service RFP (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables for the National School Lunch Program, Northside Independent School District's fresh produce solicitation for child nutrition (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026), and the Bulloch County School District's Farm to School RFP (due May 4, 2026) specifying 24 locally grown produce items within 200 miles of the district. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued an RFP for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026) targeting approximately 18 elementary schools. The code sees concentrated activity in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations from Missouri, Florida, and Utah school systems.

Organic certification and premium positioning are not prominent in the recent opportunities; instead, issuers emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium and low-sugar formulations, and local or regional sourcing where cost and quality permit. School nutrition programs dominate this activity, with contracts typically running July 1 through June 30 and covering weekly delivery schedules, firm pricing for initial contract periods with limited mid-term adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices, and line-item award flexibility allowing multiple vendors per produce category. Insurance requirements (general liability of $1 million to $2 million), debarment certifications, E-Verify compliance, and traceability and recall procedures are standard. Geographic spread includes Georgia (Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, and Douglas County school systems), Texas (Northside Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), and multiple state-level fresh produce bids. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in these solicitations, and pricing is driven by lowest responsive and responsible bid, often indexed to USDA terminal market reports.
