UNSPSC 50417050: Organic purslane

The type of organic vegetable known as organic purslane

UNSPSC 50417050 Organic purslane, a Commodity code, does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code solicit fresh produce, dairy, eggs, beverages, and comprehensive grocery items for school nutrition programs and state operations, but none specifically reference purslane—organic or otherwise. The recent solicitations instead focus on institutional food service procurement for K-12 school districts, state departments of education, and allied child nutrition programs, where buyers source standard fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, leafy greens, potatoes, citrus, berries, and eggs) and prepared food items. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual solicitations suggests either a classification error in the sourcing system or that purslane procurement, if it occurs at the state and local level, falls outside the recent high-activity procurement window.

School districts and county education departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving a 30-district cooperative). Georgia and Texas see the highest concentration of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for approximately 300+ produce items (due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026), and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). Vendors typically must maintain HACCP certification, provide food safety documentation, carry $1 million general liability insurance, comply with Buy American provisions, and demonstrate experience with institutional food service delivery.
