UNSPSC 50305901: Foothill pommegranates

The variety of pommegranates known as foothill pommegranates

UNSPSC 50305901 Foothill pomegranates, a Commodity code, represents a narrow agricultural product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and child care food service initiatives. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for pomegranates specifically; instead, the code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity. The most recent opportunities in the dataset span fresh produce, grocery items, and specialty dried fruits across school districts, municipalities, and child care agencies—but pomegranates do not appear in any named line-item specifications, bid scopes, or produce catalogs reviewed, suggesting this code either sees minimal state and local procurement volume or is not the code typically applied when pomegranates are purchased as part of larger produce packages.

State and local procurement activity under produce-adjacent codes remains active across school districts and municipal agencies, with issuing bodies including Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County Schools, McAllen Independent School District, Henry County Schools (Georgia), Central Point School District (Oregon), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), among dozens of others. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, with multiple school districts and a cooperative buying consortium (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts) soliciting fresh produce through RFPs and ITBs. No recent state or local opportunities were identified that specifically name foothill pomegranates or pomegranates in general as a procurement line item, contract deliverable, or menu component. If pursuing this code, verify with potential customers whether pomegranates are incorporated into their fresh produce specifications or purchased as seasonal line items within broader vendor agreements rather than standalone solicitations; the commodity may be purchased as part of larger fresh fruit category contracts rather than standalone RFPs or ITBs.
