UNSPSC 50305209: Water lemon passion fruit

The variety of passion fruit known as water lemon passion fruit

UNSPSC 50305209 Water lemon passion fruit, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The opportunities posted under this code reflect school nutrition programs, child care food service, and institutional food service for corrections facilities—all standard procurement for breakfast, lunch, and meal programs across districts and municipalities. However, none of the recent solicitations target water lemon passion fruit as a line item or commodity; instead, they solicit broad fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, berries, melons), fresh fruits and vegetables for USDA-funded programs, and food staples for cafeterias. The one opportunity explicitly addressing specialty fruits (Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) mentions "specialty fruits" generically but does not isolate water lemon passion fruit, and most other opportunities specify common varieties by name without reference to tropical or exotic citrus hybrids. The code's nominal scope suggests an extremely narrow commodity—a single fruit variety—yet the recent solicitations demonstrate that state and local procurement bodies source produce on broad category basis, bundling dozens of items into single contracts and allowing vendors to propose standard commercial varieties.

The issuing bodies across the source span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Meriden Public Schools, McAllen ISD, Salt Lake City School District, and dozens of Georgia district boards of education), municipal and county social service agencies (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County School District), transit and detention facilities (County of Santa Clara corrections), and cooperative purchasing consortiums (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 40 Georgia districts). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia (Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County systems), with secondary activity in Texas (McAllen, Austin, City of Edinburg), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Utah (Salt Lake City), Florida (Hillsborough County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Oregon (Central Point), and California (Santa Clara). The source shows no recent state or local solicitation specifically for water lemon passion fruit. Unless this commodity code is used as a catch-all for specialty or tropical citrus in a state procurement taxonomy (and the source provides no evidence of such usage), the code appears inactive or misaligned with actual buying patterns in the jurisdictions represented.
