UNSPSC 50416803: Organic ambrosia corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic aloha corn

UNSPSC 50416803 Organic ambrosia corn (Commodity) encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operators, including school districts, county parks departments, health-care coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments buy organic and conventional produce—fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—as ingredients for school meal programs, park concessions, institutional food service, and health-care facility operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Collier County in Florida), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and specialized health-care purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, sourcing produce to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance with USDA whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, domestic-sourcing preferences, and products free of added sugars or artificial additives. County parks departments and health-care organizations solicit produce as components of broader food-service operations, with emphasis on quality, freshness guarantees, seasonal availability, and delivery timelines.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with posted opportunities from Florida (Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services, due March 6, 2025), Georgia (State of Georgia food supplies bid due June 22, 2026, and Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026), and a health-care coalition in Marion (produce proposals due August 21, 2026). Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB exemplifies the school-district focus: the district requested bids across approximately 300 food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for delivery to three schools Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract with renewal options. Collier County's March 6, 2025 ITN for food-services concessions at North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026) includes produce as part of diverse food and beverage offerings across multiple venues, with a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria and evaluation criteria weighting menu variety and operational planning at 35 points.
