UNSPSC 50412100: Organic brussel sprouts

The type of organic vegetable known as organic brussel sprouts

UNSPSC 50412100 Organic brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual buying activity in the recent state and local procurement record. While the code nominally names a single fresh produce item, the recent solicitations tagged under it span comprehensive fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — including fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce — across dozens of school districts and state agencies, with only incidental references to brussels sprouts or organic sourcing among the broader scope of goods being solicited. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the broad commodity acquisitions posted under it suggests either systemic miscoding or the use of this Commodity code as a catch-all category within procurement offices' UNSPSC assignment practice.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat procurement across the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia; Northside Independent School District and McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Bulloch County School District and Early County Board of Education in Georgia; Salt Lake City School District in Utah; Austin Independent School District in Texas; and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida. State agencies including the State of Georgia and the Douglas County School System (serving a 30-district cooperative) also appear as issuing bodies. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Utah, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain specifications; Northside Independent School District's sealed-bid RFP for fresh produce (RFP 2026-048) due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and monthly price adjustments tied to USDA market reports; Hillsborough County Public Schools' cost-plus fixed-fee RFP (IFB #4 2027-2026) due March 11, 2026, for specialty fruits and vegetables under the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving approximately 18 elementary schools; and the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004) due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One across 18 districts and $1.1 million for Area Two across 12 districts.
