UNSPSC 50406607: Tokyo turnip

The variety of turnips known as tokyo turnip

UNSPSC 50406607 Tokyo turnip is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce — primarily vegetables and fruit — for institutional food service operations across correctional facilities, state mental health centers, state supported living centers, school districts, senior services programs, and regional parks. Recent solicitations show governments buying fresh vegetables including turnips, carrots, potatoes, onions, peppers, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, and seasonal fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, and berries, either as standalone produce contracts or bundled within broader food service and grocery procurement. The issuing bodies span state correctional and health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and city school districts (Bartow County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan School District), county governments (Collier County, Bryan County), municipal parks and senior services (City of San Antonio Parks & Recreation), and specialized service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations.

Activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for the Snyder Food Warehouse (IFB IW267420, responses due October 14, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, bids due October 23, 2026), the Bartow County School System School Nutrition Program in Georgia soliciting local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles for the 2026-2027 school year (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program parameters (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026). Delivery and quality specifications typically mandate F.O.B. Destination pricing, bi-weekly to weekly delivery schedules, USDA grade compliance, food-safety certifications, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. Geographic sourcing preferences appear in school district procurement, particularly requirements for produce sourced within 400 miles and state boundaries.
