UNSPSC 50417000: Nominant organic vegetables

Organic vegetable types that belong to no other class and have no other organic vegetable commodities related to them

UNSPSC 50417000 Nominant organic vegetables is a Class code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local government food-service operations, ranging from park concessions and healthcare facilities to school districts and state agencies. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing a mix of fresh fruits and vegetables, often bundled with broader food-service or kitchen-supply contracts rather than as standalone organic-produce line items. The work spans single-vendor concession arrangements at parks, routine produce delivery to healthcare operations, and line-by-line food bids for school nutrition programs that explicitly specify whole-grain, low-sodium, and additive-free preferences. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school boards, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions — a mix of regional and local jurisdictions rather than concentrated federal-equivalent purchasing.

Recent activity appears across Georgia and Florida, with the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) and Collier County (Florida) conducting active procurement through June 2026. The Early County Schools FY27 Food Bid (ITB, due June 8, 2026) solicited approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, and fruits with domestic sourcing and nutritional preferences, plus milk delivery specifications maintaining cold-chain integrity and stock rotation; Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) posted a produce proposal solicitation (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026–2027 contract period covering fresh fruits and vegetables with quality and delivery standards; Collier County's North Collier Regional Park Food Services ITN (due March 6, 2025) included food-and-beverage concessions at a water park and athletic facilities with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) with attachment-based scope, suggesting baseline state-level activity in the food-procurement space. No indication of set-aside concentration or sole-source activity appears in the recent opportunities.
