UNSPSC 50417027: Organic gai choy

The variety of organic vegetable known as organic gai choy

UNSPSC 50417027 Organic gai choy, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce items — specifically Asian leafy greens and related fresh vegetables — that state and local governments procure for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing produce sourcing for institutional food services across county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, school districts, and state purchasing vehicles. The work involves identifying qualified produce vendors to supply fresh fruits and vegetables meeting quality standards, food safety compliance, delivery timelines, and volume requirements specified in each contracting body's operational needs. Issuing bodies range from county recreation departments managing concession operations at regional parks to school districts supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, to healthcare coalitions sourcing for institutional meal preparation. School districts and county park systems appear as repeat activity drivers under this code.

Activity spans multiple states, with recent opportunities posted in Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state-level and Early County Schools), and broader institutional procurement networks. Representative recent solicitations include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), which references concession produce sourcing as part of broader food-service scope; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals RFQ for the 2026-2027 contract period (due August 21, 2026); the State of Georgia's food supplies and kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program support covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits (due June 8, 2026). School district procurements emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with pricing typically firm for 15 days from award and subject to escalation or de-escalation on six-month cycles tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
