Foods highest in Vitamin A: sweet potato (1/2 cup boiled w/o skin has 27,969 IU), canned pumpkin (1/2 cup has 26,908 IU), raw carrot (1 medium (72g) has 20,253 IU while 1/2 cup of boiled carrots has 19,152 IU. Lambsquarters and raw mango are also high.

Foods highest in Vitamin C: Papaya (1 medium (304g) has 188mg), fresh squeezed orange juice has 124mg in 8 fl oz, while loganberries, strawberries, navel oranges and kiwifruit are also high.

Foods highest in Vitamin E (sorry, I only have info on vegetarian foods) include: 1 tbsp wheat germ oil (26.94 mg) and toasted sunflower seeds (1 oz has 14.25 mg).

The highest vegetarian source of Vitamin B1 is long grain brown rice, cooked (1/2 cup has 0.90 mg) Dried sunflower seeds also have 0.59 mg in 1 oz.

The highest vegetable source of B2 is dried apricots (0.50 mg in 10 halves) while cooked mature soybeans are also high with 0.49 mg in 1 cup. Florida avocados rank third with 0.37 mg in 1 medium avocado (304g).

For B3 (Niacin), Florida avocados have 5.8 mg, tomato paste has 4.2 mg in 1/2 cup, and dry roasted peanuts have 3.8 mg in 1 oz.

For B6, raw watercress is highest with 2.0 mg in 1/2 cup. Chickpeas, Florida avocados, and baked russet potatoes are also high.

B12 is usually only found in animal products or foods with B12 supplements added. (Sorry I haven't done any research on these.) Vitamin D is usually only available in fortified foods like milk (look at the Nutrition Facts labels). The body will make all the Vitamin D you need, according to most health sources, if you expose your arms and legs to natural sunlight for 15-30 minutes every day.

To my knowledge there is no food that contains all of the vitamins you listed in one item. That's why a balanced diet is so important.
