UNSPSC 50417050: Organic purslane

The type of organic vegetable known as organic purslane

UNSPSC 50417050 Organic purslane, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to the product itself. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch between the nominal commodity — a specific leafy green vegetable — and the actual scope of work being solicited. State and local governments do procure fresh produce including leafy greens through food-service contracts, but the recent postings under this code span broader food-supply categories rather than organic purslane in particular. The Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal solicitation in August 2026 seeking qualified vendors for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026–2027 contract period with delivery and quality compliance required, but the posting does not isolate organic purslane or specify individual produce lines. Similarly, the Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 covering approximately 300 food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments) for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools with awards due approximately 60 days after bid opening on June 8, 2026, yet the scope is aggregated produce and protein sourcing rather than specific vegetable commodities. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park in October 2026, seeking a qualified food vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options with a March 6, 2025 due date, but this is a concession-operations contract rather than a raw-commodity procurement.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County), Georgia (State of Georgia and Early County Schools), and likely other states, but the code shows no concentrated, commodity-specific market for organic purslane among state and local buyers in recent postings. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state purchasing offices (Georgia), and regional health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), reflecting the diversity of food-service procurement across the state and local sector. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations — which treat produce as broad categories within larger food-service or cafeteria contracts rather than line-item commodities — suggests that this code either captures organic purslane opportunistically within larger bids or sees minimal standalone demand. Business development professionals should verify whether organic purslane demand emerges through food-service RFPs and IFBs that disaggregate produce items at the line level, or treat this code as a low-activity indicator.
