UNSPSC 50415701: Organic acme rutabagas

The variety of organic rutabagas known as organic acme rutabagas

UNSPSC 50415701 Organic acme rutabagas is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses fresh produce supply to school districts and state agencies—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus, peppers, and eggs delivered weekly or as specified to cafeterias and nutrition service facilities. The solicitations show school districts dominating the issuing-body mix across the dataset, including independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), county school systems (Early County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Hillsborough County), and one municipal school system (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri). State purchasing also appears in the dataset—Georgia issued statewide produce and food procurement notices. A small number of specialized programs like the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (Hillsborough County Public Schools) and Farm to School initiatives (Bulloch County School District) further segment demand. School nutrition is the primary use case, with child nutrition reimbursable meal programs driving volume and compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and food safety certifications.

Recent representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food vendor bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with delivery requirements and domestic sourcing preferences; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce procurement (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) for five-day-per-week delivery across 127 schools in Bexar County, Texas with evaluation weighted 35% on price and 25% on meeting district needs; Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP specialty produce solicitation (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026) for 18 elementary schools with a cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case structure and estimated annual budget of $600,000; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Most active procurement occurs in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitation activity in Florida, Missouri, and across the Southeast. Delivery windows are consistently 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday during school operations, with vendors required to maintain refrigerated transport, traceability documentation, product recall procedures, and insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million general liability depending on the district. Price adjustments are typically restricted to six-month or annual review cycles with USDA or CPI documentation, and contracts commonly include renewal options of two to four additional one-year terms.
