UNSPSC 50431904: Dried organic boltardy beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic boltardy beets that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50431904 Dried organic boltardy beets, a Commodity code, shows negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally denotes a specialized dried vegetable product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it overwhelmingly reflect broad institutional food procurement—child care meal programs, school nutrition services, corrections facility provisioning, and food service distribution—rather than the specific product named in the code. The opportunities being solicited under this code encompass entire food categories: beverages, dairy, proteins, grains, fresh produce, eggs, condiments, canned and frozen items, janitorial supplies, and paper goods for kitchens and cafeterias. The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County systems in Missouri and Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia), a state corrections department (Oregon Department of Corrections), state purchasing offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts/TDCJ, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and a municipal child care program (City of Edinburg, Texas). No single buyer appears more than twice; the activity is fragmented across jurisdictions. The geographic spread includes Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with no discernible concentration.

The representative recent opportunities—spanning late March through mid-July 2026—include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for dried pinto beans (approximately 42,500 pounds at $0.493 per pound historical pricing, ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts soliciting cafeteria food products on behalf of TDCJ across five geographic areas (IFB 304T26300CF, 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and staples, due May 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools seeking a Master Grocery K-12 contract for supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, July 2026–June 2027 term); Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services issuing an IFB for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026, July 2026–June 2027 term); Muscogee County School District soliciting fresh produce via ITB (approximately 60 produce items, due April 27, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools bidding 72 fresh produce items including apples, bananas, and processed produce (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026); and Douglas County School System issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in Georgia (estimated annual $4.4–$1.1 million by geographic area, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). These opportunities target large-scale institutional food supply, not the narrow commodity the code nominally describes. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity.
