UNSPSC 50303701: Beaumont guavas

The variety of guavas known as beaumont guavas

UNSPSC 50303701 Beaumont guavas, a Commodity code, does not match the work being solicited in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally identifies a single fresh fruit item; however, the most recent procurement records show no demand for Beaumont guavas specifically. Instead, state and local buyers—primarily school districts, food-service consortia, and child nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California—are actively purchasing broad produce categories, fresh fruits and vegetables for meal programs, and specialized procurement categories such as dried fruits and nuts. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bartow County School System, Bryan County Schools, and other Georgia districts conducting multiple solicitations for fresh produce, petite bananas, apples, berries, carrots, lettuce, and seasonal items to support National School Lunch Program and CACFP meal service. City and county purchasing offices also appear as issuing bodies—the City of Edinburg, Texas and City of San Antonio pursuing CACFP and senior-center produce distribution, and the County of Santa Clara, California soliciting dried fruits and nuts for correctional facilities. Buying cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative aggregate demand across 30 school districts in Georgia, posting unified RFPs for fresh produce and eggs at estimated annual values exceeding $5 million.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with at least fifteen recent opportunities from school districts and the state procurement office across Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Early County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County. Texas districts including Austin, McAllen, and Hillsborough County in Florida are actively soliciting. Opportunities demonstrate no current market for Beaumont guavas as a discrete commodity line; recent solicitations reference apples (multiple varieties including Gala, Fuji, Ambrosia, Granny Smith), bananas and petite bananas, berries (strawberry, blackberry, raspberry), melons, citrus, and prepared produce options, but not the specific variety coded. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (weekly usage 70–90 cases, annual contract value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (contract term July 20, 2026–June 30, 2027), and the GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia regions (Area One estimated $4.4 million annually, proposals due March 4, 2026). The code appears misaligned with actual procurement patterns and merits verification against source documents before pursuit.
