UNSPSC 50412101: Organic citadel brussel sprouts

The variety of organic brussel sprouts known as organic citadel brussel sprouts

UNSPSC 50412101 Organic citadel brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent solicitation activity tagged to it shows little to no procurement of brussels sprouts specifically — the code appears misaligned with what is actually being bought. Instead, the most recent state and local opportunities under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad fresh produce portfolios (apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, celery, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and dozens of other items) for school nutrition programs, state operations, and federally funded child nutrition initiatives. The scope spans weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, USDA compliance and food safety certification requirements including HACCP plans and traceability systems, Buy American provisions, temperature-controlled logistics, and firm or cost-adjusted pricing models tied to USDA market indices. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System) alongside state agencies (State of Georgia) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts range from small rural systems serving roughly 6,900–11,200 students to large urban districts serving 20,000+ students across 30+ campuses.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida, Missouri, and multi-state cooperative purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Georgia's Invitation for Bid for fresh produce (posted April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, with Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce delivery to 18 elementary schools (posted April 13, 2026, due March 11, 2026), Northside Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce serving 127 schools across San Antonio (posted April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two geographic areas totaling approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spending for Area One (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026). The code sees no recent activity for organic citadel brussels sprouts as a line item; the tagging appears to reflect a system classification error rather than active procurement demand for that specific commodity.
