UNSPSC 50402106: Rubine brussel sprouts

The variety of brussel sprouts known as rubine brussel sprouts

UNSPSC 50402106 Rubine brussel sprouts is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy this produce item primarily through school nutrition programs serving child meal requirements under federal USDA programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), as well as through institutional food service contracts with departments of criminal justice, senior services programs, and child care agencies. The scope spans both fresh whole produce and ready-to-eat processed forms—cleaned, cut, packaged, and delivered with traceability documentation from farm of origin, shelf-life labeling, and temperature-controlled transport. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, soliciting across elementary, middle, and high school networks; state departments of criminal justice also procure substantially for institutional canning and food service operations. A few school systems explicitly source within narrow geographic radii (Wisconsin districts within 400 miles, Georgia counties within 200 miles) and apply organic or local-farm preferences in final price comparison or evaluation scoring.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for approximately 5,900 weekly servings of ready-to-eat fresh fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with 400-mile sourcing preference and 5% diverse-owned business preference; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW253099 (posted June 3, 2026, due June 23, 2026) for bulk white potatoes for canning across multiple institutional locations; and the Dougherty County Board of Education sealed bid for fresh produce across 24 nutrition sites (posted May 19, 2026, due June 16, 2026), covering 40 line items with estimated annual quantities and firm pricing including packing and transportation. School nutrition contracts typically run July through June with one to four optional one-year renewals, emphasize Buy American compliance, require HACCP certification and traceability systems, carry general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or weighted scoring including price, quality, local preference, and vendor diversity or HUB status. No significant federal grant contingencies or set-aside restrictions appear in the sampled opportunities.
