UNSPSC 50411903: Organic barbabietola di chioggia beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic barbabietola di chioggia beets

UNSPSC 50411903 Organic barbabietola di chioggia beets is a Commodity code capturing a specific fresh produce item — organic striped beets — that appears in state and local procurement primarily as part of broader food-service and school-nutrition contracts rather than as a standalone line item. Recent solicitations show the code appearing in contexts where fresh vegetables are procured alongside other produce, proteins, and food-service supplies for institutional food operations. State and local governments buy under this code when they source produce for school lunch programs, county parks concessions, healthcare facilities, and state food-service operations. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments and their parks divisions (Collier County), state agencies (State of Georgia), and healthcare-affiliated purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). These are typical institutional food-service buyers, though the code sees limited standalone solicitation activity — organic specialty beets are rarely called out as a discrete line item but instead roll into general produce buys where vendors supply mixed fresh vegetables according to seasonal availability and operational specifications.

The recent activity spans Georgia (State of Georgia food supplies bid posted May 15, 2026), Florida (Collier County park concessions ITN posted October 8, 2026, Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposals posted August 7, 2026), and Georgia again (Early County Schools line-item food bid posted May 11, 2026 with June 8 bid opening). The Early County Board of Education RFQ for the 2026-2027 school year, with bids due June 8, 2026, represents the most directly relevant recent opportunity — a line-by-line bid covering approximately 300 food items including fresh vegetables alongside proteins, dairy, and non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program across three schools, with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences emphasized and pricing inclusive of transportation. The Collier County Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025) shows produce as part of a broader concession vendor scope; that date appears to be a historical posting in the source and does not reflect current opportunity. Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 produce solicitation similarly frames the code activity within institutional procurement for a healthcare network. The code sees fragmented issuing-body activity across multiple states with no standout repeat buyer, and recent posting activity clusters around summer and fall 2026.
