UNSPSC 50451912: Frozen organic detroit 2 dark red beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic detroit 2 dark red beets that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451912 Frozen organic detroit 2 dark red beets, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and perishable food products for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing broadly across food categories—proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and condiments—rather than frozen beets in isolation. The work encompasses line-item bidding for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state-level institutional food supply, with vendors expected to meet USDA specifications, food safety compliance, and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement departments (State of Georgia), and school district boards of education (Early County Board of Education), reflecting demand across multiple institutional customer classes.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Gwinnett County soliciting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026 (due October 19, 2026), Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies to support National School Lunch and Breakfast programs with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia requesting bids for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Gwinnett County awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reserves the right to split awards by line item; Early County emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and requires vendors to maintain HACCP plans and carry $500,000 general liability insurance. Delivery and temperature control requirements, minimum shelf life (10–14 days), and food recall procedures are standard across opportunities.
