UNSPSC 50411904: Organic boltardy beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic boltardy beets

UNSPSC 50411904 Organic boltardy beets is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce through this code primarily for school nutrition programs, with recent activity dominated by school districts seeking fresh fruits and vegetables to support National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program operations, along with federally funded initiatives such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The actual purchasing encompasses a broad range of produce items—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items—delivered weekly or multiple times weekly to school campuses. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, with activity also appearing from state purchasing offices managing food supply for institutional operations. Recent solicitations show school districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri seeking produce vendors through RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs, with multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) consolidating demand.

Recent activity spans multiple regions with particular concentration in Georgia, where the State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, and Bulloch County School District have all posted solicitations since early March 2026. Texas districts including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District have also solicited produce in the same window. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri round out the geographic spread. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP for Fresh Produce for Child Nutrition (due May 7, 2026), which seeks USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce delivered five days weekly with pricing based on USDA Specialty Crops Terminal Markets Standard Reports; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with emphasis on whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars; and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. All recent solicitations require HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), weekly or scheduled deliveries during school operating hours, firm pricing for contract periods, and compliance with federal food safety and non-discrimination requirements.
