UNSPSC 50303000: Dragonfruit

The variety of dragonfruit known as dragonfruit

UNSPSC 50303000 Dragonfruit, a Class code, covers fresh produce supply and delivery to state and local institutions, particularly schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and food programs serving vulnerable populations. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing fresh fruits, vegetables, and related food items for meal programs, with specifications typically emphasizing quality standards, delivery frequency, compliance with nutrition regulations (USDA, CACFP, USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program), and food-safety certification. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, school districts, county boards of education, city human services and parks divisions, and child/adult care food program operators. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple food warehouses serving incarcerated populations. School districts dominate the recent activity, with procurements focused on produce for breakfast and lunch programs serving K–12 students and, in some cases, early childhood and after-school care participants. Institutional food service operators and senior centers also solicit regularly under this code.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi.
