UNSPSC 50417010: Organic batatas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic batatas

UNSPSC 50417010 Organic batatas, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities show the code capturing a broader spectrum of produce and food-service solicitations than the specific commodity name implies. State and local governments use this code and related produce classifications to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, prepared food services, and ancillary food-supply items from vendors serving parks, schools, health-care coalitions, and state institutions. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, school boards, state purchasing offices, and specialized procurement entities such as health-care coalitions. The scope of work ranges from single-commodity supply (fresh produce delivery under standing contracts) to multi-site food concessions requiring vendor-operated kitchens, equipment maintenance, and full compliance with health and safety regulations across peak-season tournament operations.

Recent activity spans three states. Collier County, Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring a qualified vendor to operate concessions at multiple venues with proposals due March 6, 2025 and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) posted a produce-vendor solicitation in August 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026, seeking fresh fruits and vegetables on a standing-delivery basis for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia solicited bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including produce, meats, dairy, and grains supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; vendors must deliver Monday through Friday to multiple school sites and comply with Buy American provisions and HACCP standards.
