UNSPSC 50303001: Pink dragonfruit

The variety of dragonfruit known as pink dragonfruit

UNSPSC 50303001 Pink dragonfruit is a Commodity code that identifies a single fresh-fruit product line. State and local governments procure fresh produce — including dragonfruit but spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items — for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and regional parks. The buying pattern reflects meal-service scale: correctional institutions and school districts purchase by the case in bulk; smaller regional parks and senior centers procure smaller volumes for direct distribution or concession operations. Most solicitations specify USDA quality standards, delivery schedules, temperature control, traceability documentation, and compliance with food-safety regulations including HACCP plans. Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominates the recent-opportunity pool, issuing multiple solicitations for fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply to food warehouses serving state prison facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, with school districts representing the largest buying cohort followed by state corrections and mental-health departments. Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply to Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine food warehouses in September and October 2026 (IFB IW267420, IW267411, IW267376, all due by October 14 or 19, 2026). School districts including Madison Metropolitan (Wisconsin), DeSoto County (Mississippi), Hancock County (Georgia), Dougherty County (Georgia), Bartow County (Georgia), Bryan County (Georgia), and Early County (Georgia) issued fresh-produce bids between May and July 2026 for school-year supply contracts running July 2026 through June 2027, with line-item bids on 40–300 produce line items and estimated annual values ranging from $78,000 to $969,460. Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center) sought fresh-produce supply in August 2026 under small-purchase procurement with prevailing-wage compliance and minority-contractor set-asides. Collier County (Florida) Parks and Recreation and City of Edinburg (Texas) CACFP meal programs solicited food-service supply including fresh produce via ITN and RFP in August and September 2026. The code shows no distinctive activity unrelated to institutional fresh-produce supply.
