UNSPSC 50411918: Organic monaco beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic monaco beets

UNSPSC 50411918 Organic monaco beets is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show almost no activity purchasing organic monaco beets specifically. Instead, the code appears to be catching broad produce procurement notices that span dozens or hundreds of line items across fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and related food-service items. School districts, county boards of education, and independent school systems dominate the issuing bodies, with representatives from Georgia (Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The state of Georgia appears most active, with at least six school districts or county boards issuing RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs for fresh produce between February and May 2026.

Representative recent solicitations show the actual scope of work: Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) issued RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce delivered five days weekly during the school year at 35% price weighting in evaluation. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issued RFP 26039RFQDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026, targeting approximately 18 elementary school sites with cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case pricing. Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issued an invitation for proposal for locally-grown produce (within 200 miles of Bulloch County) covering 24 items including watermelons, apples, and Vidalia onions for its Farm to School program, due May 4, 2026. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages due March 11, 2026, with explicit Good Food Purchasing Program requirements and strong preference for Texas-grown products. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One alone, due March 4, 2026. The organic monaco beet code itself receives no targeted solicitation activity; procurement officers are using a broad commodity code to tag multi-hundred-line-item institutional food service contracts where specific produce varieties are secondary to volume capability and delivery reliability.
