UNSPSC 50417053: Organic soybeans

The type of organic vegetable known as organic soybeans

UNSPSC 50417053 Organic soybeans is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it involve general food procurement — fresh produce, prepared food concessions, school meal components including vegetables and fruits, and kitchen supplies — rather than organic soybeans specifically. The issuing bodies include county parks departments, school districts, state agricultural procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The work spans food service vendor selection for park concessions, produce supply for healthcare operations, school lunch program provisioning across meats, dairy, produce, grains, and paper goods, and general food and kitchen supplies. The recent solicitations do not isolate organic soybeans as a distinct line item or focus; instead, they reflect broad food-procurement categories in which organic or specialty produce items may appear as one component among many.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida (Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition), Georgia (state procurement and Early County Schools), and appears limited to these jurisdictions in the current opportunity set. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety and food safety compliance with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Early County Board of Education posted an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food bids covering 300+ items including produce, meats, dairy, and grains for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with questions due May 29, 2026 and bids due June 8, 2026; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options and emphasizes domestic sourcing and whole-grain specifications. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026, with full scope details in an attached 12 MB document.
