The variety of turnips known as tokyo cross turnips

UNSPSC 50406608 Tokyo cross turnips is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce supply across state and local institutional food service, with recent solicitations concentrated in state criminal justice, health and human services, school nutrition, and senior services procurement. State and local governments use this code to buy fresh vegetables—turnips, carrots, potatoes, onions, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and other produce staples—for delivery to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, mental health treatment centers, and senior center nutrition programs. Issuing bodies are primarily Texas state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County), Illinois state agencies (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), and municipal entities (Collier County, Madison Metropolitan School District, San Antonio, Marion Health Care Coalition, Head Start of Greater Dallas). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears frequently across multiple recent solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses and institutional locations, signaling sustained demand for bulk produce contracting from that agency.
