UNSPSC 50302405: Jete cherimoya

The variety of cherimoya known as jete cherimoya

UNSPSC 50302405 Jete cherimoya is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific tropical fruit variety, but state and local governments do not procure this item. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve institutional food service for schools, child care facilities, and correctional settings—districts, cooperative purchasing consortiums, and counties sourcing fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts, beverages, and groceries for meal programs serving students, children, and inmates. The disconnect between the code's narrow product name and the broad institutional food procurement activity it indexes reflects the wide variance in how state and local entities tag food service contracts; the code functions as a catch-all for fresh and processed produce rather than a specific varietal identifier.

State and local food service procurement is led by school districts (the dominant issuing body), followed by county school systems, independent school districts, child care food program administrators, cooperative purchasing consortiums, and corrections facilities. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, and Douglas County School System appear multiple times across recent bids. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with additional recent activity in Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, California, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program beverages, food products, paper goods, and supplies (due August 4, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas in 150-count cases at $78,000 annual value (due July 29, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving 18 elementary schools at estimated $600,000 annual budget (due March 11, 2026); and the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas totaling approximately $5.5 million annually (due March 4, 2026). Most contracts are IFB or RFP vehicles with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP certification mandates, and delivery to multiple school or program sites within narrow morning windows. Set-aside activity is limited; most procurements are open competitive with occasional preferences for diverse-owned or locally sourced vendors where noted in individual RFPs.
