UNSPSC 50301719: Bizcocho banana

Variety of bananas known as bizcocho

UNSPSC 50301719 Bizcocho banana (Commodity) encompasses the supply of fresh bananas and banana-based products to state and local child nutrition and food service programs. State and local purchasing under this code centers on school districts, child care providers, and senior nutrition programs acquiring bananas as a staple fruit item in bulk quantities for meal service compliance with USDA nutrition standards. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs across county and independent school districts, along with child care food program operators and municipal senior services divisions. Recent solicitations show bananas bundled within broader fresh produce and grocery procurements rather than as standalone line items, with districts specifying portion-controlled or bulk banana varieties to meet federal nutrition guidelines and student consumption patterns.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), McAllen ISD (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and multiple Georgia county school systems including Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, and Liberty County. The City of Edinburg, Texas, CACFP meal program procurement posted July 2026 includes beverages, food products (with proteins, breads, fruits, and vegetables), and paper goods for 400 children across 20 days per month for nine months. Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 IFB 4162 specifically requests petite bananas—150-count cases in 5" to 5.5" length at color stages 3.5 through 4.5 per Chiquita standards—with weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases and an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for the school year September 2026 through June 2027. No recent solicitations list bananas as a standalone commodity code; instead, the code appears within larger food-service and produce aggregations, indicating that banana procurement occurs primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles or as a managed line within comprehensive food supply contracts rather than through isolated fruit procurements.
