UNSPSC 50411922: Organic sugar beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic sugar beets

UNSPSC 50411922 Organic sugar beets is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The source contains fifteen recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code, and all of them request fresh produce, eggs, or grocery items for school nutrition programs, state operations, or child nutrition services — none explicitly mention organic sugar beets or sugar beets of any kind. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), alongside state procurement offices in Georgia, regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 school districts across Georgia), and county and municipal agencies. The solicitations use RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notice types with response dates clustering between late March and early June 2026.

The work being solicited spans comprehensive fresh-produce supply contracts for school lunch and breakfast programs, typically covering 60 to 72 line items across fruits, vegetables, and eggs with weekly or twice-weekly delivery requirements to multiple school sites. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026), requesting meats, poultry, dairy, produce, and non-food supplies; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce compliant with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards (due May 7, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri and Florida. The code shows no relevant recent activity for organic sugar beets themselves, indicating a classification mismatch between the UNSPSC designation and the procurement substance being pursued.
