UNSPSC 50415704: Organic marian rutabagas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic marian rutabagas

UNSPSC 50415704 Organic marian rutabagas is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement of this specific produce item. Instead, the posting record shows school districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Utah soliciting fresh produce broadly—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, berries, and other commodity vegetables and fruits—to support child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program). The code appears misapplied to these opportunities; none of the recent solicitations name rutabagas or request organic-specific produce. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with occasional involvement from county boards of education and one state purchasing office. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri), and Salt Lake City School District represent representative recent buyers. The geographic concentration spans Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri heavily, with activity also in Utah.

Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food and produce bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain specifications; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce priority; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce due March 11, 2026, supporting the federally funded FFVP with estimated annual budget of $600,000; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. All require HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 ranges), weekly or twice-weekly delivery, and firm pricing for the contract term.
