UNSPSC 50417011: Organic bean sprouts

The type of organic vegetable known as organic bean sprouts

UNSPSC 50417011 Organic bean sprouts is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity, despite extensive solicitation volume in the adjacent fresh produce and school nutrition space. The code's narrow focus on a single sprout variety finds no representation in the sixteen recent opportunities reviewed, which collectively span hundreds of line items across fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce for school lunch programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food service.

State and local procurement under the broader fresh produce and food service categories — where organic bean sprouts might theoretically sit — is dominated by school districts, regional education cooperatives, and state agencies sourcing through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices. Activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County School System via the GEC Buying Cooperative; Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, Bulloch County, and Muscogee County School Districts; State of Georgia), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Recent opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, traceability and recall procedures, USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards, and multi-year renewal options with price redetermination or escalation clauses. Notably absent from all sixteen solicitations is any line-item request for organic bean sprouts or sprout products, even where specifications explicitly invite organic or specialty produce options. The code's pursuit profile appears minimal absent a documented procurement signal.
