UNSPSC 50411918: Organic monaco beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic monaco beets

UNSPSC 50411918 Organic monaco beets (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operations, though recent activity shows this code capturing a broader range of fresh fruits and vegetables rather than organic beets specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include county park and recreation departments operating food concessions, school districts purchasing for child nutrition programs, health care coalitions sourcing for institutional food service, and state procurement offices. The work involves sourcing fresh produce meeting food safety standards, delivery timelines, seasonal availability adjustments, and compliance with domestic sourcing or procurement preferences where applicable. Vendors must navigate USDA requirements (whole-grain specifications, commodity sourcing rules), temperature control and stock rotation for perishables, health and sanitation certification, product freshness guarantees, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and multi-state institutional networks. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) posted October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with a response deadline of March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse fresh food and beverage options at concession facilities; the scope emphasizes menu variety, food safety compliance, and a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County business locations. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line IFB on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits across three schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium or no-added-sugar formulations emphasized. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026 for food supplies and other kitchen products with full scope in an attached document. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026–2027 fiscal period with fresh fruits and vegetables as the primary scope.
