UNSPSC 50411920: Organic pronto beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic pronto beets

UNSPSC 50411920 Organic pronto beets is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce items, though the recent opportunities block shows limited activity specifically targeting organic or specialty beet products; instead, school districts and state agencies are soliciting broad fresh produce categories including apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, and leafy greens to support child nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies are primarily public school districts (Early County Schools, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) alongside state purchasing offices (Georgia Department of Education and Missouri state agencies). A single cooperative purchasing vehicle—the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia—manages multi-district solicitations. School districts dominate the market, with each typically managing annual contracts under RFP, RFQ, or IFB notice types for the July 1 through June 30 fiscal year cycle.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple districts including Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, and the 30-district GEC cooperative), Texas (Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, McAllen ISD in Hidalgo County, Austin ISD in Travis County), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI in St. Louis County), with Georgia showing the densest recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for 300+ food items including fresh produce, meats, dairy, and non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 deadline under ITB PE55045NONST2027000000006; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses by May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools' cost-plus contract for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to 18 elementary schools, with proposals due March 11, 2026; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's multi-district RFP SN 26-004 covering 72 produce line items for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two regions and a March 4, 2026 proposal deadline. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require HACCP certification and Buy American compliance, and emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without artificial additives or high-fructose corn syrup.
