UNSPSC 50417054: Organic spoonwart

The type of organic vegetable known as organic spoonwart

UNSPSC 50417054 Organic spoonwart, a Commodity code, nominally names a single produce item, but state and local recent activity reflects broader food-service and produce-procurement work. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concession operations at water parks and athletic facilities, with a three-year contract term and operational scope spanning multiple venues and peak tournament seasons. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid covering approximately 300 food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments) and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. The Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026-2027 contract period. Issuing bodies span county parks departments, school districts, and health care coalitions, each managing multi-site or multi-program food operations. Vendors contending for these opportunities must meet food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, volume requirements, and regulatory standards including HACCP plans and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with the State of Georgia posting a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) that likely encompasses produce and related items. Early County Schools (Georgia) required bids by June 8, 2026 and emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County (Florida) prioritizes local-vendor preference (worth 10 evaluation points) for vendors with permanent business addresses and employee residency in Collier or Lee County, with proposals due March 6, 2025. The Marion Health Care Coalition opportunity (August 21, 2026 response date) reflects healthcare-sector demand. School districts and county recreational facilities dominate the issuing-body mix, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; contract terms run one to three years with renewal options common.
