UNSPSC 50402103: Oliver brussel sprouts

The variety of brussel sprouts known as oliver brussel sprouts

UNSPSC 50402103 Oliver brussel sprouts is a Commodity code under which state and local governments buy fresh produce — chiefly through institutional food-service contracts for state facilities, school districts, and correctional systems. Recent solicitations show demand for fresh vegetables as standalone line items within broader food procurement, though the code's specificity to Brussels sprouts does not align cleanly with the actual activity, which treats fresh produce as a commodity family rather than discrete varietal purchases. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school nutrition programs (Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), municipal food-service operations (Collier County Parks and Recreation, City of San Antonio Senior Services), and nonprofit food providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas agencies and Georgia school districts drive the most visible recent activity. State procurement offices in Texas issue recurring IFBs for fresh produce serving state supported living centers and correctional food warehouses; Georgia school districts and the Texas Comptroller issue solicitations for school nutrition programs and institutional cafeteria supply. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple RFPs since June 2026 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to individual food warehouses and facilities, while Texas Health and Human Services Commission issues regular IFBs for canteen and food-service groceries across state facilities.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including fresh produce at Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP IW267376 (due October 19, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine facility; the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (due September 3, 2026) for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small business set-aside, specifying onions, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, and other vegetables meeting USDA criteria with F.O.B. Destination pricing; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN 258360 (due March 6, 2025) for food services including produce concessions at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference; and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for weekly fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, procuring approximately 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program. Pricing structures uniformly specify F.O.B. Destination with vendor-borne transportation; delivery windows typically span 7 to 14 days for standing orders or biweekly and weekly schedules for recurring institutional supply. Most jurisdictions require prevailing wage compliance, commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million), references, and compliance with food safety regulations and HACCP standards.
