UNSPSC 50302400: Cherimoyas

The type of fruit known as cherimoyas

UNSPSC 50302400 Cherimoyas is a Class code that encompasses fresh fruit procurement for state and local child nutrition, school meal, and senior services programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show government bodies purchasing fresh produce—including cherimoyas when available, though more commonly apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and other commodity produce items—as part of comprehensive food service contracts for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program service, and senior center operations. Scope reflects institutional bulk purchase of fresh produce in case quantities, often with requirements for weekly or twice-weekly delivery, temperature control, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, and traceability documentation. Issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school networks serving hundreds to tens of thousands of students), county boards of education, city or county purchasing offices procuring on behalf of school systems, Head Start and child care agencies, county correctional facilities, and city departments of human services operating senior centers. School districts dominate the recent activity, particularly across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, and California.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood supplies, due August 4, 2026, serving approximately 400 children daily), Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, 70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026; RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks via USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, approximately 5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida (RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce to approximately 18 elementary schools, cost-plus fixed-fee structure, approximately $600,000 annually, due March 11, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004 on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas, approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending, due March 4, 2026). Evaluation commonly weights cost at 30–50%, product quality and vendor qualifications at 15–30%, delivery reliability and service capability at 15–25%, and compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, and civil rights certifications. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually with one to four optional renewal periods. Set-asides and local-preference programs appear in select jurisdictions: Texas applies local-vendor preferences under Section 271.9051; Wisconsin offers 5% preference for diverse-owned certified vendors; Georgia and other states sometimes encourage small and minority-owned business participation but do not mandate set-asides at the code level.
