UNSPSC 50305605: Natal queen pineapple

The variety of pineapples known as natal queen pineapple

UNSPSC 50305605 Natal queen pineapple is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent engagement; the recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually for broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply, school nutrition meal programs, and food service operations, not natal queen pineapple specifically. The code's nominal scope — supply of a single specialty pineapple variety — does not align with the actual buying patterns reflected in the source data, which capture procurement for mixed fresh produce, institutional food service, and multi-item grocery supply across correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior centers, and regional parks.

The issuing bodies pursuing these tangentially tagged opportunities span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts and boards of education, city governments, regional health coalitions, and special-purpose food-service entities. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable supply requests (Solicitation IW267376 for Palestine unit, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October 2026 response deadlines); Illinois Department of Corrections (Solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Solicitation 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026) are also active buyers. School districts dominate the pool — Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Bryan County School Nutrition Program (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and DeSoto County School District (Mississippi) have all solicited fresh produce in the past six months. Additional activity comes from Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) for park concession food services (ITN due March 6, 2025), City of Edinburg (Texas) for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supply (RFP due August 4, 2026), City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) for school nutrition grocery items (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas (Texas) for child care food procurement (due June 24, 2026), City of San Antonio (Texas) for senior center produce market operations (RFP due May 27, 2026), and Marion Health Care Coalition for 2026-2027 produce supply (due August 21, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in the South — Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi — with additional solicitations in Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Illinois. The code itself appears to be a classification mismatch; pursuing vendors should verify actual commodity requirements before responding to opportunities flagged under this code.
