UNSPSC 50417017: Organic chaoyotes

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chaoyotes

UNSPSC 50417017 Organic chaoyotes, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce items — specifically organic varieties of root vegetables, leafy greens, and specialty produce — that state and local governments procure for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining. The recent solicitations under this code show state and local issuing bodies acquiring fresh produce through RFQs and ITNs for multi-venue food service, school lunch and breakfast programs, and healthcare facility operations. The issuing-body mix includes county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), school districts (Early County Board of Education), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Procurement offices weight food safety compliance, product freshness guarantees, delivery timelines, and volume reliability alongside cost, with preference given to domestic sourcing, seasonal availability pricing adjustments, and suppliers meeting USDA standards for whole-grain and low-sodium formulations where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026; Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including produce, meats, dairy, and vegetables (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006) due June 8, 2026, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) sought fresh fruits and vegetables proposals (Solicitation SP0040000017708) due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, Solicitation 258360) for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options across concession and park facilities with a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County permanent business address and residency. School districts and county departments emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, general liability coverage ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), E-Verify enrollment, and food recall procedures.
