UNSPSC 50417065: Organic water spinach

The type of organic vegetable known as organic water spinach

UNSPSC 50417065 Organic water spinach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The UNSPSC taxonomy names a single produce item—organic water spinach—but recent opportunities in the dataset consistently solicit broad fresh produce categories spanning multiple items: apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, and dozens of other fruits and vegetables procured together under single contracts. School districts and county boards of education are the dominant issuing bodies, with Georgia and Texas jurisdictions issuing the majority of recent solicitations.

Recent activity centers on institutional produce procurement for child nutrition programs. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFQ on May 11, 2026, for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, encompassing 300+ food items with a response due June 8, 2026. The Northside Independent School District (Texas) solicited fresh produce for child nutrition through RFP 2026-048, with responses due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant items delivered five days per week to 127 campuses. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued RFP 26039RFPDST for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), due March 11, 2026, supplying specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools. Broader produce solicitations from the State of Georgia (IFB #4 2027-2026, due May 27, 2026), Muscogee County Schools (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System cooperative (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts with $4.4 million estimated spending in Area One) indicate sustained demand across regional and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code's narrow item scope does not meaningfully segment the market—vendors pursuing organic water spinach should monitor broader fresh produce family codes (UNSPSC 50411500 and related families) where the actual institutional volume and decision-making occurs.
