UNSPSC 50412502: Organic autumn king carrots

The variety of organic carrots known as organic autumn king carrots

UNSPSC 50412502 Organic autumn king carrots, Commodity tier, represents a narrow product line within the broader fresh-produce procurement that state and local school districts and food service operations solicit regularly, though the code does not align closely with the opportunities posted in recent months. The recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit mixed fresh-produce categories—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, eggs, and other items in bulk—rather than organic autumn king carrots as a distinct line item. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri represent the dominant buyer base, issuing annual contracts for child nutrition and food service delivery to dozens of elementary, middle, and high schools and central kitchens. Representative recent procurements include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses with proposals due May 7, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) line-by-line food bid for 300+ items due June 8, 2026; and Bulloch County School District (Georgia) RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026. Additional buyers include the State of Georgia (IFB for fresh produce, May 27, 2026 response date) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program distribution to 18 elementary schools, estimated annual budget $600,000.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary procurement activity in Missouri. Georgia school districts post the most frequent solicitations under this code, including Douglas County (30 districts cooperative purchasing, $5.5 million annual estimated spend across two geographic areas), Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Bulloch County, all with produce RFPs or ITBs due between March and May 2026. Vendors supplying under this code must meet Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP certification and food safety documentation, carry $1 million minimum general liability insurance, comply with USDA food safety standards, deliver on fixed weekly schedules (typically Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM), and accept firm pricing for contract terms of one year with optional multi-year renewals. No set-asides or disadvantaged-business designations appear across the recent postings. The code's specific focus on organic autumn king carrots as a commodity does not surface as a line item in these solicitations; buyers solicit "carrots" generically within broader produce line items, suggesting the code's narrow commodity designation has minimal purchase visibility in the current state and local market.
