UNSPSC 50402105: Rampart brussel sprouts

The variety of brussel sprouts known as rampart brussel sprouts

UNSPSC 50402105 Rampart brussel sprouts, a Commodity code, does not align with the work actually being solicited under the recent state and local opportunities tied to this code. The recent solicitations document fresh produce procurement across school nutrition programs, child care food service, and institutional foodservice — including apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, and other commodity vegetables and fruits — but none of the opportunities posted cite brussels sprouts or name this commodity specifically. The code nominally names a single vegetable variety, yet the institutional produce buys being tracked under it span dozens of line items across broad produce categories. State and local procurement offices are using this code designation to tag comprehensive fresh produce supply contracts rather than single-item commodity buys, creating a material mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work the market is actually purchasing.

State school districts, county school systems, and child nutrition programs are the dominant issuing bodies, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), and numerous other Georgia school boards; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appears multiple times with institutional foodservice vegetable buys; and municipal entities and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and Head Start affiliates also participate. Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. Representative solicitations include the Northside Independent School District RFP for fresh produce with a May 7, 2026 response deadline, Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (response deadline March 11, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with a March 4, 2026 response deadline, Bartow County Schools' local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP with a June 22, 2026 response deadline, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice carrots buy (IFB IW241979-A, due March 17, 2026) and white potatoes buy (IFB IW253099, due June 23, 2026). Most opportunities are issued as RFP or IFB with response windows of two to eight weeks and contract terms running July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years; pricing commonly remains firm for the contract term or adjusts semi-annually based on USDA market indices, and awards frequently go to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
