UNSPSC 50401911: D'egypte beets

The variety of beets known as d'egypte beets

UNSPSC 50401911 D'egypte beets is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items procured by state and local governments, specifically root vegetables and fresh-cut produce supplied to school nutrition programs, early childhood development services, corrections facilities, and senior services. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and county school systems, with representation from state departments of criminal justice, municipal senior services divisions, and Head Start organizations. The work being solicited ranges from bulk commodity purchases for institutional food service (such as white potatoes and carrots for correctional facilities and school cafeterias) to fresh, pre-packaged produce for specialized nutrition programs like the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, which targets elementary students and requires ready-to-eat, cleaned, and inspected deliveries with farm-of-origin traceability.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Georgia school districts dominate the recent record—Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System have all posted produce solicitations in the past four months—alongside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which has issued multiple competitive bids for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning.
