UNSPSC 50417034: Organic jicama

The type of organic vegetable known as organic jicama

UNSPSC 50417034 Organic jicama is a Commodity code covering fresh organic jicama root vegetables purchased by state and local governments. The recent opportunities in the dataset show state and local procurement under this code spanning fresh produce supply for institutional food service—specifically school districts, county parks, and healthcare coalitions sourcing vegetables and fruits for meal programs, concession operations, and institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the mix, with procurement tied to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance; they typically bid food items line-by-line and require compliance with USDA whole-grain, sodium-reduction, and domestic-sourcing preferences alongside standard food-safety and liability insurance requirements.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits across three schools for the 2026–2027 contract period; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring concession food vendors to serve diverse food options at water parks and athletic facilities with a 10-point local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery according to operational needs. School district procurement under this code typically enforces firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation capped at 3% without supporting USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation, requires E-Verify compliance and $500,000 general liability insurance, and permits piggybacking by other districts on identical terms.
