UNSPSC 50417009: Organic banana leaves

The type of organic vegetable known as organic banana leaves

UNSPSC 50417009 Organic banana leaves is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity tied directly to its nominal scope. State and local governments procure fresh produce—including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items—through school nutrition programs, but the specific commodity of organic banana leaves does not surface in recent competitive solicitations. The solicitations tagged under this code predominantly address broad fresh produce procurement for child nutrition and school food service, spanning fruits, vegetables, and eggs rather than specialized leaf products. School districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri dominate the issuing bodies, with contracts typically structured as multi-line-item RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs requiring HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm annual pricing.

Recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope: the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, response due May 7, 2026) solicited fresh produce for child nutrition across 127 school campuses with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown preference; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFQDST, response due March 11, 2026) sought specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program across 18 elementary schools; Early County Board of Education in Georgia (ITB PE55045NONST2027000000006, response due June 8, 2026) bid 300+ food line items including fresh produce across three schools; and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, response due March 4, 2026) procured approximately 72 produce and egg line items serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school systems), Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, NISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). The code shows no procurement activity specifically targeting banana leaves as a distinct commodity line item; business development efforts should focus instead on broader fresh produce supply rather than this specialized subcategory.
