UNSPSC 50305206: Maypops passion fruit

The variety of passion fruit known as maypops passion fruit

UNSPSC 50305206 Maypops passion fruit is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce, though the recent solicitations under this code predominantly reflect broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts rather than maypops or passion fruit specifically. State and local governments buy fresh produce through this taxonomy tier for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, mental health and healthcare centers, and senior services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state departments sourcing apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, and other staple produce items in bulk quantities. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, county boards of education, senior service divisions, and specialized providers such as Head Start programs and child care food programs. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, and Illinois Department of Mental Health appear as repeat buyers in the recent record. School districts dominate the volume — Madison Metropolitan School District, DeSoto County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bryan County School Nutrition Program all posted produce solicitations between April and September 2026. Contracts typically require compliance with USDA nutrition standards (National School Lunch Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program), Buy American provisions mandating domestic sourcing or minimum domestic-content percentages, HACCP food safety plans, and prevailing wage compliance where applicable.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Georgia school districts account for at least eight recent solicitations (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County, and others). Texas generates multiple solicitations from TDCJ (Snyder Food Warehouse, Wynne Food Warehouse, Palestine facility) and local entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg CACFP program). Illinois posts through the Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) and Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center). Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida (Collier County parks), and Mississippi (DeSoto County School District) round out recent activity.
