UNSPSC 50417041: Organic maguey leaves

The type of organic vegetable known as organic maguey leaves

UNSPSC 50417041 Organic maguey leaves is a Commodity code that state and local governments source primarily as fresh produce for food service operations—school lunch programs, institutional cafeterias, parks concessions, and health care facilities. Recent solicitations show the code covers produce acquisition more broadly than the nominal commodity name suggests, with state and local buyers treating it as part of general fresh-produce procurement alongside conventional vegetables and fruits. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments, school district food-service programs, state procurement offices, and health care coalitions. The work involves sourcing, delivery, quality assurance, food-safety compliance, and pricing negotiation tied to seasonal availability and operational demand.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state-level and Early County Board of Education), and Marion Health Care Coalition. The most representative recent solicitation is Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026, IFB), which requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits as part of National School Lunch Program procurement, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners also solicited food and beverage services for North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, ITN) requiring vendors to provide diverse, high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues, with a three-year contract term and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County permanent business address and employee residency. Marion Health Care Coalition requested produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period with delivery and seasonal pricing flexibility.
