UNSPSC 50431908: Dried organic cheltenham mono beets

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

UNSPSC 50431908 Dried organic cheltenham mono beets is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specialized dried-beet product, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit general-purpose food supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations—including proteins, dairy, grains, produce, and miscellaneous staple items that bear no meaningful connection to dried beets of any variety. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two bids for dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds and 127,500 pounds respectively), which are legumes rather than beets, and the remaining seven opportunities span fresh produce, grocery items, and cafeteria food products across multiple categories with no mention of beets or specialized dried-vegetable procurement.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems in Georgia), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois and Georgia state procurement offices), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). The geographic spread covers Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs appearing as the dominant use case across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries, the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily, and the Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution RFP (RFP 26-003, closed February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food service to 32 schools. No solicitations specifically target dried beets or cheltenham mono varieties, indicating this code sees no active pursuit among state and local public bodies at present.
