UNSPSC 50305202: Blue passion flower

The variety of passion fruit known as blue passion flower

UNSPSC 50305202 Blue passion flower is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce — including fruits, vegetables, and specialty items — for food service operations across institutional and community settings. Recent solicitations show the code captures broad fresh-produce supply contracts rather than blue passion flower specifically: Texas Department of Criminal Justice is soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for correctional-facility food warehouses; school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Texas are bidding weekly or seasonal produce supplies for National School Lunch Programs and child nutrition initiatives; county governments are contracting for senior-center and regional-park food services; and state departments of mental health and corrections are establishing regular vegetable and fruit supply chains. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, mental health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Dougherty County, Early County in Georgia and Mississippi), counties (Collier County, Florida), cities (Bridgeport, San Antonio, Edinburg), and nonprofit food-service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). The procurement mix emphasizes compliance with USDA nutrition standards, CACFP or National School Lunch Program requirements, Buy American provisions, food-safety certifications (HACCP plans, E-Verify), and delivery logistics—often twice-weekly or daily to multiple sites, with firm pricing, no fuel surcharges, and F.O.B. Destination terms.
