UNSPSC 50303703: Lucida guavas

The variety of guavas known as lucida guavas

UNSPSC 50303703 Lucida guavas, a Commodity code, describes fresh guava procurement — though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically for this variety. Instead, the code's recent opportunities reflect broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts across institutional food service, school nutrition programs, child care feeding programs, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies span Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) food warehouse operations, Illinois Department of Corrections, school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Early County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Bartow County), state departments of mental health, county senior services, Head Start agencies, the Bridgeport Board of Education, and specialized food-service operators. These jurisdictions procure fresh produce under RFP, RFB, IFB, and ITN notice types, with geographic concentration in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Contracts emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) and National School Lunch Program standards, HACCP documentation, insurance requirements, and delivery-frequency commitments ranging from bi-weekly to daily service.

Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine facility, due October 19, 2026) and IW267411 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Wynne Food Warehouse, Huntsville, due October 14, 2026); Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center (27444DHSMENTHB53608, fresh fruits and vegetables through June 30, 2027, due August 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for 5,900 weekly servings, Wisconsin-sourced, September 1–November 30, 2026, due July 29, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (over 1,100 grocery line items including fruits and vegetables, National School Lunch Program, June 30, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, approximately 32,409 cases of produce and other items, estimated value $969,460.94, CACFP-compliant, June 24, 2026). Small-business set-asides appear in Illinois procurements; local-vendor preferences and minority/woman-owned business enterprise eligibility feature in school-district and municipal solicitations. Activity remains steady through mid-2026, with contracts typically running one school or fiscal year with optional renewals.
