UNSPSC 50301712: Pisang mas bananas

The variety of bananas known as pisang mas bananas

UNSPSC 50301712 Pisang mas bananas is a Commodity code naming a single fresh-fruit product line that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health treatment centers, senior centers, and child care programs. Recent solicitations show steady demand across multiple issuing bodies for weekly or bi-weekly banana deliveries, often as part of larger fresh-produce contracts or standalone produce bids, with pricing typically per pound or per case and delivery requirements ranging from twice weekly to once monthly depending on facility size and operational schedule.

The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bryan County Schools and Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), state correctional and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), counties (Collier County in Florida), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), child care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and regional coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition in Illinois). Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple fresh-produce solicitations including dedicated banana supply RFQs. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida, with recent opportunities spanning the timeframe from late April through mid-October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annual value, contract September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, due July 29, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, Texas (due October 19, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce including bananas across 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026). Most school-district and institutional-food-service contracts run July through June or September through June aligned with fiscal and academic calendars, with pricing firm for the contract period and delivery typically on prepaid F.O.B. Destination terms with no fuel surcharges permitted.
