UNSPSC 50305202: Blue passion flower

The variety of passion fruit known as blue passion flower

UNSPSC 50305202 Blue passion flower is a Commodity code that bears little relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific plant variety; however, the recent opportunities posted against it span food service, school nutrition, and institutional meal programs with no connection to horticultural or plant procurement.

The mismatch reflects a cataloging artifact rather than active market demand. School districts, city agencies, and county food authorities are soliciting fresh produce distribution — bananas, apples, lettuce, carrots, and prepared fruits and vegetables — for National School Lunch Programs, Child and Adult Care Food Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, California, and other states. Issuing bodies include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and numerous school nutrition programs in Georgia counties. These solicitations are structured as RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs with response dates through July 2026 and beyond, typically weighted heavily on cost (30–50 points), product quality and freshness, delivery reliability, and compliance with USDA Buy American and food safety standards including HACCP plans and traceability. The code exhibits no recent activity aligned with blue passion flower seeds, plants, or horticultural inputs; pursuit of this code for institutional food procurement would require reclassification to a produce distribution or grocery supply code with actual market activity.
