UNSPSC 50412604: Organic dok elgon cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic dok elgon cauliflowers

UNSPSC 50412604 Organic dok elgon cauliflowers is a Commodity code with limited recent activity aligned to its narrow scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are seeking fresh produce — primarily institutional food service for schools and other public agencies — but the recent solicitations in the dataset span a broad range of fresh fruits and vegetables rather than the specific organic cauliflower variety named in the code. School nutrition programs and state food procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies, with representatives including the Early County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), 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). Most active issuing bodies are Georgia school districts and Texas school districts, supported by state-level procurement offices in Georgia and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items including produce and dairy; Northside Independent School District's sealed-bid RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses in the San Antonio area (RFP, due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM CT); Hillsborough County Public Schools' cost-plus fixed-fee contract for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools participating in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP, due March 11, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's cooperative-buying RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative supplying 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia (RFP, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, estimated spending $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Georgia school districts account for the plurality of recent posts, reflecting both state-level procurement and district-level sourcing. Across all solicitations, school nutrition programs dominate the issuing bodies, with state-level food procurement playing a secondary role. Evaluation criteria consistently weight price competitively (30–50 points), product quality and vendor qualifications (15–30 points), alignment with program needs (16–25 points), and delivery performance. Vendors must maintain HACCP certification, carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance (depending on jurisdictional requirements), comply with Buy American provisions and domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable, and meet E-Verify authorization and debarment certification thresholds. Delivery is typically required Monday through Friday between 6:00 AM and 2:30 PM to multiple school sites with inclusion of all packing and transportation in pricing. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with one-year renewal options. The code shows no recent activity specific to organic dok elgon cauliflowers; vendors responding under this code should expect competition for general fresh-produce supply to institutional food service operations rather than specialty organic vegetable sourcing.
