UNSPSC 50402607: Minaret cauliflowers

The variety of cauliflower known as minaret cauliflowers

UNSPSC 50402607 Minaret cauliflowers (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity based on recent solicitation records. The code describes a single fresh vegetable variety, but state and local governments procuring fresh produce do so under broader commodity classifications that capture multiple produce items within a single contract. Recent school districts, child nutrition programs, and institutional food service buyers across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri are soliciting produce through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that name minaret cauliflower only as one line item among 50–300 produce SKUs per contract, and pricing is aggregated or indexed to USDA terminal market reports rather than quoted at the single-commodity level. The code's specificity—a single vegetable type at a single taxonomic tier—misaligns with how state and local purchasing offices actually structure produce procurement.

The recent opportunities in the source do show institutional produce demand concentrated among school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and criminal justice institutional food service across a four-state region (Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri). Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) solicited fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for approximately 5,900 servings weekly, requiring organic and locally sourced options; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple IFBs for bulk commodity vegetables (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes) at 1,200-ton volumes; and school nutrition programs in Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Northside ISD (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County (Tampa, Florida), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) issued RFPs for comprehensive fresh produce spanning 60–72 line items with annual contract values ranging from approximately $600,000 to $3.1 million. Minaret cauliflower, if bid at all, would be priced as one line within these aggregated solicitations, not as a standalone commodity code.
