UNSPSC 50412503: Organic berlicum carrots

The variety of organic carrots known as organic berlicum carrots

UNSPSC 50412503 Organic berlicum carrots is a Commodity code covering fresh produce — specifically organic carrots — sourced by state and local jurisdictions for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional feeding. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through school districts, counties, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing entities soliciting produce for cafeteria operations, child nutrition programs, and park concessions. The work includes sourcing fresh vegetables meeting food-safety compliance, delivery scheduling, quality standards, and seasonal pricing adjustments; vendors typically supply line-item bids for produce integrated into broader food-service procurement alongside proteins, dairy, and paper supplies. Recent solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain or plant-based complementary items, and HACCP or food-safety plan compliance. Issuing bodies range from small independent school districts to county parks departments to healthcare coalitions, often bundling produce procurement with larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone item lines.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted by Early County Board of Education and the State of Georgia in June 2026, Marion Health Care Coalition (jurisdiction unnamed in available records) in August 2026, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (posted October 8, 2026, with response due March 6, 2025). Early County Schools' FY27 Food Bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) exemplifies the scope: the district solicited approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs across three schools, requiring line-by-line pricing, domestic-sourcing preference, and delivery Monday through Friday at designated times. The Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park Food Services (due March 6, 2025) sought a food vendor for concessions and park operations with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition's Produce Proposals (RFP, due August 21, 2026) requested fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period.
