UNSPSC 50411900: Organic beets

The type of organic vegetable known as organic beets

UNSPSC 50411900 Organic beets, a Class code, covers fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities tagged under this code show a broader scope of food-service and produce contracting than the category name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this space are buying fresh produce, vegetables, and fruits for institutional food service — including school cafeterias, county parks, and health-care facilities — typically as part of larger food-service or supply contracts rather than as standalone organic-beet line items. The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Florida), school districts (Early County Board of Education, Georgia), health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition, Marion County, Oregon), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts and county parks departments represent the primary institutional buyers in the recent record.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Oregon. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line bid RFQ on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program across three schools, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including fresh-food concessions at multiple venues with a three-year term and two one-year renewal options; a 10-point local-vendor preference applies. Marion Health Care Coalition (Oregon) sought produce proposals on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with attached specifications. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; institutional buyers typically require HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, and Buy American compliance where applicable.
