UNSPSC 50417004: Organic arrow root

The type of organic vegetable known as organic arrow root

UNSPSC 50417004 Organic arrow root is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specialized starch product—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The source records show four recent postings nominally tagged to the code, but they involve broad food-service procurement (water-park concessions, hospital-system produce, state kitchen supplies, and school-lunch programs), none of which specifically solicit organic arrow root or related specialty starches. State and local buyers appear to use higher-tier food and beverage codes for general solicitations and do not currently fragment procurement by individual starch products at the commodity level.

The geographic footprint is limited. Recent activity includes Collier County, Florida (food concessions via ITN with local-vendor preference); Marion Health Care Coalition in an unspecified state (produce proposals, August 2026); the State of Georgia (kitchen products and supplies, May 2026); and Early County Schools, Georgia (National School Lunch Program food and non-food items, May 2026). No concrete opportunities targeting organic arrow root or specialty starches have posted in the recent window. A business pursuing this code should expect activity to remain sparse unless state and local jurisdictions adopt more granular commodity-level coding for specialty food ingredients or bulk starches, which does not yet appear to be occurring in current procurement practice.
