UNSPSC 50417018: Organic chickpeas

The variety of organic vegetable known as organic chickpeas

UNSPSC 50417018 Organic chickpeas is a Commodity code that maps to fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operators, though recent opportunities show minimal specific demand for organic chickpeas by name. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under this code are acquiring fresh fruits, vegetables, and produce generally—including in some cases specific line items for legumes and beans—as part of broader food-service supply contracts for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state operations. The issuing bodies span county park and recreation departments, school districts, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices. Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Early County Board of Education, Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia all posted produce or food-supply solicitations between May and October 2026, indicating recurring seasonal demand across multiple jurisdiction types as contract periods align with fiscal years and school-year cycles.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia, with opportunities posted in May through October 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food-service vendors to supply concessions at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025 (note: due date predates posted date, suggesting a calendar error in source data). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food bids covering 300+ items including meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for school lunch and breakfast programs, with bids due June 8, 2026; that contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited fresh produce proposals due August 21, 2026, and the State of Georgia requested bids on food and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Recent activity shows no standalone solicitations naming organic chickpeas explicitly; the code appears to function as a catch-all classification within broader produce and food-supply RFBs rather than representing a dedicated procurement stream.
