UNSPSC 50630200: Organic

Organic fresh vegetables which have been processed. Organic fresh vegetables have been grown and that transported in a manner that qualifies them to be certified as organic.

UNSPSC 50630200 Organic is a Class code that encompasses the supply of certified organic fresh produce — fruits, vegetables, and related items — to state and local institutions including school districts, correctional facilities, senior services, and child nutrition programs. State and local governments procure organic produce under this code when federal or local purchasing directives, grant programs such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, or sustainability commitments drive demand for certified organic sourcing. Issuing bodies span school districts (from single-district RFPs to multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles), state departments (including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia), county boards of education, city departments of human services, and Head Start agencies. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts seeking organic options either as preferred items in broader produce procurement or as standalone contracts. The code sees activity from both large urban districts and smaller rural systems, reflecting broad institutional adoption of organic procurement.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in the Southeast and Texas. The Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with bids due July 29, 2026, requiring organic produce within 400 miles of Madison and offering a $0.20 per pound price preference for organic items. Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. solicited IFB 26-GP for grocery products including produce items for the Child and Adult Care Food Program, with a total estimated value of $969,460.94 and bids due June 24, 2026. The Bartow County School System in Georgia issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a June 22, 2026 proposal deadline, emphasizing 400-mile sourcing from local farms. The Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia requested sealed bids (due June 16, 2026) for 40 produce line items to supply 24 school nutrition sites. The City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services issued RFP 26-070 on April 22, 2026 (response deadline May 27, 2026) to operate produce markets at senior center locations, distributing fresh fruits and vegetables to seniors. Several Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations posted in June 2026 (sweet potatoes IFB IW253121 and white potatoes IFB IW253099, both due June 23, 2026) required bulk vegetable supply for institutional food service. The source shows no recent opportunities explicitly tagged as organic-only procurement; organic sourcing appears as a price-preference element or quality specification within broader fresh produce contracts rather than as a standalone category.
