UNSPSC 50401902: Albina vereduna beets

The variety of beets known as albina vereduna beets

UNSPSC 50401902 Albina vereduna beets is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on fresh produce supply for institutional food service — particularly correctional facilities, state mental health centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show government buyers procuring fresh vegetables, including beets and other root vegetables, as components of larger fresh-produce supply contracts rather than as discrete line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and school districts and county boards of education across Texas, Illinois, and Georgia dominate recent activity. Issuing bodies span state departments (TDCJ, HHS, Illinois DOC), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County), county governments (Collier County), and specialized agencies (Head Start, Marion Health Care Coalition). Scope includes institutional meal preparation, canteen operations, and school breakfast and lunch programs, with deliveries typically required bi-weekly to weekly on F.O.B. Destination terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ warehouse networks, HHS state-supported living centers), Illinois (state mental health and correctional facilities), and Georgia (school districts). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable procurement for its Wynne Food Warehouse and Snyder Food Warehouse (IFB IW267411 and IW267420, due October 14, 2026), the Texas HHS Commission's consumables solicitation for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh-produce bid for Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), the Bartow County School System's local fresh-fruits-and-vegetables RFP (due June 22, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid fresh-produce procurement for 24 school sites (IFB, due June 16, 2026). Activity reflects sustained demand for year-round institutional produce supply with quality assurance, traceability, and delivery-schedule compliance as key contract drivers.
