UNSPSC 50417064: Organic water chestnuts

The type of organic vegetable known as organic water chestnuts

UNSPSC 50417064 Organic water chestnuts (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity indexed under this code in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic water chestnuts or any specialty aquatic vegetables; instead, state and local agencies have tagged broad fresh produce, grocery, and child nutrition service contracts under this code, creating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its commodity definition. Procurement offices in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida have issued RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive fresh produce supply contracts—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and dairy—as well as full grocery item packages spanning snacks, grains, meats, and condiments for school nutrition programs and state operations. These solicitations span school districts (including Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Early County Schools in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), county boards of education (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County in Georgia), and state procurement offices. Issuing bodies favor line-item bidding to enable multiple vendor awards and prioritize domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, and Buy American provisions. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (March 4, 2026 deadline, estimated $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two), Northside Independent School District RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition in San Antonio (May 7, 2026 deadline), and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables through the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (March 11, 2026 deadline, $600,000 estimated annual budget). The code classification does not support pursuit in its current indexed state.
