UNSPSC 50305210: Wing-stemmed passion flower

The variety of passion fruit known as wing-stemmed passion flower

UNSPSC 50305210 Wing-stemmed passion flower (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialized botanical commodity—bears no relation to the actual purchasing being tagged under it. Recent solicitations associated with this code involve fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and mental health centers across multiple states, including Texas, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. These are broad produce procurement efforts—bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and other staple fresh items in bulk quantities—that fall well outside the narrow horticultural classification the code purports to describe.

State and local issuers posting under UNSPSC 50305210 include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Georgia Department of), county boards of education (DeSoto County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Hancock County in Georgia; Collier County in Florida), independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Early County and Bartow County in Georgia), cities and municipalities (City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg in Texas), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition, Madden Mental Health Center). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply for prison food warehouses in Palestine and Snyder (RFP IW267376, IW267420, IW267411; responses due October 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia soliciting 200+ line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables for school delivery (IFB SN002-2027; bids due June 26, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners seeking food services at North Collier Regional Park via Invitation to Negotiate with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points (ITN 258360); and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas with 70–90 cases per week at $78,000 annual contract value (RFB 4162; bids due July 29, 2026). The code sees activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi) and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and other states. The mismatch between the code's botanical nomenclature and actual purchasing patterns suggests procurement offices are misclassifying fresh-produce supply contracts at the commodity level, creating noise that obscures genuine market demand under the code's nominal definition.
