UNSPSC 50435702 Dried organic angela rutabagas, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity visible in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a narrow dried-vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass broad food service procurement including fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, beverages, janitorial supplies, and prepared entrees — reflecting the actual food-supply operations of child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school districts. State and local issuing bodies active under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state procurement, and Georgia procurement), municipal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas via the Boys & Girls Club CACFP program), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The work solicited includes weekly and daily food delivery to schools, prisons, and child care facilities; compliance with USDA, HACCP, and nutritional standards; and firm fixed pricing with delivery to multiple sites.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items for 2026-27 with over 900 line items (bid opening April 29, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two) through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), and the City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies to 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (due August 4, 2026).
