UNSPSC 50201716: Mate leaf

Leaves from the mate plant used in the production of the mate beverage.

UNSPSC 50201716 Mate leaf is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code primarily address broad grocery and food supply procurement for school nutrition services, cafeteria operations, and institutional food service — including fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments — rather than mate leaf specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (the State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The solicitations are structured as term contracts for recurring supply and distribution, with awards typically made on a line-item basis to multiple vendors and contract terms running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with renewal options.

Recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery of at least 76 grocery items to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia, with a performance period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 and requiring delivery of main entrees, grains, fruits, vegetables, staple items, and supplies to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Texas. The code shows no recent state or local solicitations specifically targeting mate leaf as a distinct procurement line item.
