UNSPSC 50412601: Organic all the year round cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic all the year round cauliflowers

UNSPSC 50412601 Organic all the year round cauliflowers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it in state and local government. The recent opportunities records show that this code is being applied to broad fresh produce and grocery procurement for school nutrition programs, which encompasses apples, bananas, carrots, tomatoes, eggs, and dozens of other commodity items—not organic or year-round cauliflower specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, with isolated state agency fresh produce buys. School districts drive the volume: Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted solicitations under this code in the past ninety days. Georgia school districts appear most frequently in the recent activity.

The work being solicited reflects institutional food service procurement for child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, often with federal USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Vendors are competing for line-item awards across 50–72 produce categories per solicitation, with annual contract values ranging from approximately $600,000 (Hillsborough County) to $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC cooperative covering 30 districts). Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 (covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food products, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with response deadline May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM (CT) for delivery August 10, 2026 through May 26, 2027; McAllen Independent School District's RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce across 31 campuses, due March 6, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri and Florida. All solicitations require HACCP compliance, Buy American certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million limits), USDA food safety standards, and firm pricing over the contract term, typically July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options for one to four additional years.
