The recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives — covering a broad range of fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and related staples delivered to schools, school districts, and public agencies, but the specific commodity "Non GMO burpees golden beets" does not appear in any of the posted solicitations or their detailed item specifications.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include multiple school districts (Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Northside Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and Hillsborough County Public Schools), state purchasing offices (Georgia), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative).
