UNSPSC 50401911: D'egypte beets

The variety of beets known as d'egypte beets

UNSPSC 50401911 D'egypte beets, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce supply to institutional food service operations — specifically fresh vegetables and prepared produce items delivered to state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring fresh beets alongside broader produce categories (carrots, potatoes, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and specialty items) for canteen operations, meal programs, and bulk warehouse distribution. The scope spans both individual produce line items and comprehensive produce-supply contracts that include weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules, USDA grade compliance, temperature-controlled transport, and ready-to-eat or processed-ready formats for institutional kitchen integration.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county agencies (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state-supported living centers, and specialized procurement bodies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition, City of San Antonio Department of Human Services). Texas agencies, particularly HHSC and TDCJ, appear as repeat solicitors across multiple recent notices. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with additional recent opportunities in Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, and nationwide state corrections and health-services networks. Representative recent solicitations include: Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (consumables including fresh produce for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, due October 19, 2026); Dougherty County Board of Education sealed bid for fresh produce to 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026); and Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026), posted with a small business set-aside designation.
