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 captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments. Recent solicitation activity shows that state and local buyers across school districts, county park and recreation departments, and healthcare facilities use this code to source fresh vegetables and produce items for food service operations, kitchen preparation, and cafeteria supply chains. The code applies to direct procurement of fresh produce, including delivery, quality standards, and compliance with food-safety regulations and USDA nutritional guidelines. Issuing bodies include county park and recreation departments, independent school districts operating food service programs tied to the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. School districts represent a significant share of recent activity, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and products free of artificial additives.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits to support school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026; Marion Health Care Coalition requesting produce proposals for the 2026-2027 contract period, with proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia posting a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid with due date June 22, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) soliciting food-service proposals via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park concessions, with proposals due March 6, 2025, and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. School districts emphasize firm pricing with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data and require transportation and packing included in quoted prices.
