UNSPSC 50407051: Raddichios

The type of vegetable known as raddichios

UNSPSC 50407051 Radichios is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce items, including radishes, lettuce, leafy greens, and related vegetable commodities sourced by state and local school nutrition programs, municipal food services, and child care agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under and near this code reflect institutional procurement of fresh produce for meal service operations—primarily K–12 school districts, early childhood programs, and criminal justice food service operations—rather than specialty or premium vegetable sourcing. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with sealed bid and RFP solicitations for fresh produce contracts typically covering 50–72 line items of mixed fruits and vegetables delivered weekly to multiple school sites, with contract values ranging into the millions for larger districts.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with additional activity from state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), municipal school systems (Northside ISD in San Antonio; Austin ISD; McAllen ISD), county boards of education (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, and others in Georgia; Douglas County cooperative), child care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Hillsborough County in Tampa). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate bids for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for institutional canning and food service. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, with weekly deliveries of 5,900 servings to elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce (within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, covering 24 produce items for its Farm to School program; Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant items delivered five days weekly to 117 district campuses; and Austin ISD's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026, with estimated significant annual value and emphasis on Good Food Purchasing Program compliance. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (with multiple school district procurements from Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Douglas County cooperative, Glynn, Henry, Liberty, Muscogee, and Savannah-Chatham County systems), Texas (TDCJ, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, Austin ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and Florida (Hillsborough County), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools).
