UNSPSC 50305904: Nana pommegranates

The variety of pommegranates known as nana pommegranates

UNSPSC 50305904 Nana pomegranates is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of fresh pomegranates, though recent activity under this specific code shows minimal direct alignment with pomegranates alone. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader fresh-produce procurement spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories, with pomegranates appearing as one line item within larger fresh-produce specifications rather than standalone acquisitions. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, municipal food service departments, and specialized vendors serving institutional meal programs—correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and child and adult care food programs dominate. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has been the most active recent buyer, posting multiple fresh-produce solicitations for delivery to food warehouses and individual facilities; Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health also appear as repeat institutional buyers. School districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Connecticut represent a substantial share of procurement volume, sourcing produce through sealed bids and RFPs to support USDA-regulated meal programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with Georgia and Texas showing the highest recent posting frequency. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine facility, due October 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting quotes for fresh-produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with an estimated annual value of $78,000 (due July 29, 2026), DeSoto County School District's sealed-bid procurement for fresh-produce distribution across 41 school sites on a cost-plus-fee model (due June 22, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026). Delivery frequencies range from bi-weekly to daily, with strict temperature and freshness requirements common across correctional, mental-health, and school-nutrition contracts. Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, prevailing-wage compliance in some states, and insurance requirements of $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability are standard across the portfolio.
