UNSPSC 50412505: Organic nantes carrots

The variety of organic carrots known as organic nantes carrots

UNSPSC 50412505 Organic nantes carrots, a Commodity code, does not see material state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce procurement broadly—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, onions, and citrus—across school nutrition programs, but none isolate organic carrots or nantes varieties as a distinct line item or procurement focus. The code appears misaligned with actual buying patterns, where produce is solicited by category (fresh vegetables, fruits, prepared items) rather than by cultivar or organic designation. School districts and school nutrition cooperatives dominate the issuing bodies—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, and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative—with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida.

The recent opportunities reflect institutional food service contracting for school meal programs under IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types, with response dates clustered between late March and late June 2026. The Early County Board of Education IFB (due June 8, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District grocery-items bid (due April 29, 2026) exemplify the scale: hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and non-food supplies. Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (due March 4, 2026) covers 72 produce line items across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by geographic area. Procurement emphasizes USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic or 200-mile-local sourcing where required, and fixed or index-based pricing. Vendors compete on per-unit or per-case pricing, delivery capability (typically Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), and product quality; cost-plus-percentage models are rejected. No procurement distinguishes organic nantes carrots as a preferred or separately specified item, indicating limited or negligible demand for this commodity under its specific UNSPSC designation in the current state and local market.
