UNSPSC 50412500: Organic carrots

The type of organic vegetable known as organic carrots

UNSPSC 50412500 Organic carrots is a Class code that encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, including organic carrots and other fresh fruits and vegetables supplied to parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. The recent opportunities show that state and local buyers under this code are primarily school districts managing National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county parks departments operating concession and food-service facilities, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid illustrates the scope: the district seeks line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, delivered Monday through Friday with firm pricing and Buy American compliance. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, county government (parks and recreation divisions), county health coalitions, and state agencies, with school districts appearing as repeat buyers managing commodity food procurement for federal meal programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with solicitations posted between May and October 2026. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food services via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for North Collier Regional Park's concession operations and water park, with proposals due March 6, 2025 and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for vendors meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line IFB with bids due June 8, 2026 for school food service across three schools under the National School Lunch Program, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options and piggybacking rights. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor RFP due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026-2027 fiscal period. The State of Georgia posted a general food-supplies and kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026 with full scope in an attached document.
