UNSPSC 50417031: Organic gobo

The type of organic vegetable known as organic gobo

UNSPSC 50417031 Organic gobo, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent solicitation record shows the code tagged inconsistently across state and county food-service acquisitions. State and local governments buy produce through this code as part of broader food-service operations — fresh vegetables and fruits for school lunch programs, institutional food service, and public park concessions. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions. The work spans competitive procurement for sole vendors providing fresh produce on contract terms, ranging from seasonal or annual commitments with renewal options to line-item bidding integrated into larger food and supplies packages. Contracts typically require compliance with food-safety and cold-chain standards, USDA sourcing preferences where applicable, and documented delivery and quality assurance.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Collier County, Florida (parks concession produce as part of food services), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce provision and delivery), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh vegetables and fruits as line items in the National School Lunch Program bid, due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (produce within a broader food and kitchen supplies bid due June 22, 2026). The most detailed recent opportunity is Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026), which includes approximately 300+ food items encompassing fresh vegetables and fruits with emphasis on domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and products free of added sugars or artificial additives; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN (due March 6, 2025) applies a local-vendor preference and covers produce and beverage provision across park concessions and water-park facilities on a three-year term.
