UNSPSC 50417019: Organic chrysanthemum greens

The variety of organic vegetable known as organic chrysanthemum greens

UNSPSC 50417019 Organic chrysanthemum greens is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it does not include sourcing for organic chrysanthemum greens or any chrysanthemum products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code document procurements for broad fresh produce and food service supplies—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and a wide variety of other commodity fruits and vegetables—by school districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts across the Southeast, Texas, and Missouri. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying signals suggests either a data classification issue or a coincidental overlap that does not reflect genuine market demand for organic chrysanthemum greens in state and local procurement.

School nutrition programs represent the dominant issuing-body category, with sealed bids and RFPs posted by districts serving 6,900 to 20,000 students across Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Douglas County School System), Texas (Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Northside Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). State procurement offices in Georgia have also posted IFBs for fresh produce supporting state operations. Recent opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, covering approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two across 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026, with evaluation weighting 35% to price and 25% to extent of goods meeting district needs), Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (due March 11, 2026, with emphasis on Good Food Purchasing Program compliance), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contract (due March 11, 2026, cost-plus fixed-fee model, estimated $600,000 annual budget funded entirely by USDA grant). All contracts emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food safety documentation, USDA compliance, and domestic sourcing preferences; many explicitly exclude third-party logistics companies and require direct vendor supply-chain management. No activity specific to organic chrysanthemum greens appears in the dataset.
