UNSPSC 50402101: citadel brussel sprouts

The variety of brussel sprouts known as citadel brussel sprouts

UNSPSC 50402101 Citadel Brussel Sprouts, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of fresh produce and related food service supplies across institutional and school nutrition programs. The recent solicitations show that state and local agencies under this code are buying fresh vegetables (notably carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mixed produce), fresh fruits, and associated disposables and food service supplies—often bundled with broader food procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, departments of criminal justice, school districts, county education systems, and specialized service providers such as senior centers and Head Start programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers, issuing multiple IFBs and solicitations for produce and consumables to state-supported living centers and correctional facilities. School nutrition programs—spanning independent districts, county boards of education, and regional coalitions—represent a steady stream of activity, frequently requiring fresh produce meeting USDA quality standards and delivered on schedule to multiple school sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary presence in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response date) for consumables including fresh produce at Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for warehouse locations (response dates in October and September 2026); the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school sites (June 16, 2026 response date); and the Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (June 22, 2026 proposal deadline). Contracts typically run one fiscal year with renewal options, emphasize compliance with food safety regulations and USDA standards, require F.O.B. Destination pricing with transportation included, and impose prevailing-wage or local-sourcing preferences where applicable. Insurance, E-Verify verification, and debarment certification are standard requirements. Early pursuit signals include pre-bid conferences, posted Q&A cycles, and addenda to extended response dates.
