UNSPSC 50303000: Dragonfruit

The variety of dragonfruit known as dragonfruit

UNSPSC 50303000 Dragonfruit is a Class code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity captured in recent solicitations. The code nominally identifies a single produce item, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span comprehensive institutional food service procurement—school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, senior services, and corrections food service—covering dozens of produce varieties, prepared foods, beverages, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and equipment across multiple geographic regions and issuing bodies. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity focus and the scope of work actually being solicited suggests either persistent miscoding in state procurement systems or a classification artifact that does not drive purchasing behavior in practice.

Issuing bodies soliciting under or tagged with this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Glynn County, DeSoto County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Central Point, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County), child and adult care agencies (City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Bartow County), municipal departments (City of San Antonio senior services, City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden, County of Santa Clara corrections), and buying cooperatives (GEC Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Georgia school districts and Texas school districts dominate recent activity, with secondary clustering in Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026) procuring beverages, produce, paper goods, and janitorial supplies for 400 children; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana procurement (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) for 70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annual value; Bulloch County Schools' local produce RFP (due May 4, 2026) seeking 24 items grown within 200 miles; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's produce and eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Activity is heaviest in the South and Southwest, with particular concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement and Texas child nutrition and senior services.
