UNSPSC 50305610: Variegated pineapple

The variety of pineapples known as variegated pineapple

UNSPSC 50305610 Variegated pineapple is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh tropical fruit, though recent activity shows the code is actually being used much more broadly for fresh produce categories including bananas, apples, vegetables, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts. State and local procurement offices, school districts, and institutional food service programs tag a wide range of fresh-produce solicitations under this code. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school boards and boards of education across multiple states, city and county human services departments, regional health coalitions, and individual school districts. The solicitations reflect food-service operations spanning correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs (including USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program compliance), senior services, regional parks and recreation, and child care providers.

Recent procurement activity centers on school nutrition programs across Georgia, with multiple sealed-bid solicitations from Bryan County Schools, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education all issued between May and June 2026 for fresh produce supply during the 2026–2027 school year. State-level procurements include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing three separate RFQs in September and October 2026 for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (solicitations IW267420, IW267411, and IW267376, with responses due October 14 and October 19, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside with bi-weekly delivery requirements (due September 3, 2026). County and municipal activity includes Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Invitation to Negotiate for food concessions at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025) and the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services seeking a contractor to operate produce markets at senior centers (RFP due May 27, 2026). School district contracts dominate the recent pipeline, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin issuing separate RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks (both due July 29, 2026; the latter carries a Wisconsin local-sourcing requirement and organic-produce preference). Procurement activity spans Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with school nutrition programs representing the largest category of recent issuers.
