UNSPSC 21102007: Fruit sorter

A machine that automatically identifies and sorts sizes of fruit according to predetermined standards.

UNSPSC 21102007 Fruit sorter is a Commodity code for equipment that state and local governments purchase to automate fruit grading, sizing, and quality assessment at agricultural operations, food processing facilities, and produce distribution centers. The code encompasses mechanical and electronic sorting systems that separate fruit by size, weight, color, and defect classification — equipment ranging from small-scale batch sorters to high-throughput continuous-flow systems used in packinghouses and wholesale distribution. State and local purchasing under this code spans agricultural departments, county extension services, food service operations at school districts and universities, and municipal or county-owned farmers' markets and produce distribution networks.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IBFs, or ITBs to characterize current geographic activity or issuing-body patterns, no representative solicitations or regional concentration can be identified. Procurement under this Commodity code, when it occurs in state and local markets, likely follows routine equipment purchases through cooperative buying vehicles or direct vendor engagement rather than formal competitive solicitation.
