UNSPSC 50417064: Organic water chestnuts

The type of organic vegetable known as organic water chestnuts

UNSPSC 50417064 Organic water chestnuts, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity directly tied to the code's nominal scope. The single concrete opportunity aligned with organic produce sourcing is Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 proposal call for qualified produce vendors supplying fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period, due August 21, 2026. The other recent opportunities tagged under this code — food service concessions at Collier County parks, the State of Georgia's broad food and kitchen supplies bid, and Early County Schools' comprehensive National School Lunch Program procurement — are general food-service or aggregated food-product solicitations that do not specifically target organic water chestnuts or even fresh produce as a standalone line item. The geographic spread across these postings spans Florida (Collier County), Georgia (State of Georgia and Early County Schools), and an unspecified location for Marion Health Care Coalition, but the distribution does not indicate sustained, focused demand for water chestnuts as a specialty commodity. Issuing bodies include county governments, state departments, school districts, and healthcare coalitions, representing the standard breadth of state and local food procurement, though none appear as repeat buyers under this specific code in the recent record.

The mismatch between the code's specificity (organic water chestnuts) and the generalist nature of recent solicitations suggests this Commodity code captures few dedicated purchasing opportunities. Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal solicitation is the closest fit to specialty fresh-produce sourcing, but the actual scope — generic fresh fruits and vegetables per operational needs — does not confirm water chestnuts as a targeted or recurring purchase line. State and local procurement of water chestnuts, whether organic or conventional, does not appear as a standalone focus in the available recent record, and vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether opportunities posted under it align with their actual product offerings before committing pre-bid resources.
