UNSPSC 50306501: White sapotes

The variety of sapotes known as white sapotes

UNSPSC 50306501 White sapotes (Commodity) covers fresh produce supply to institutional food service operations, with recent state and local activity dominated by fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for correctional facilities, school districts, senior centers, and child nutrition programs. State and local buyers are sourcing produce under this code primarily through school nutrition departments (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education), state correctional and mental health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), counties (Collier County, DeSoto County), and cities (Bridgeport, Edinburg, San Antonio). Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to prison food warehouses at Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville, signaling sustained demand from institutional food service networks. School districts predominate in frequency and diversity of produce specifications, with bids typically naming individual line items (apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, tomatoes) and often enforcing local or domestic-sourced preferences where state policy permits.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County Schools, Bartow County, Early County, DeSoto County), Texas (TDCJ multiple locations, San Antonio, Edinburg), Illinois (DOC Joliet, DMH Hines), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), reflecting regional school nutrition program procurement cycles. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine food warehouse (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Wynne food warehouse in Huntsville (IW267411, due October 14, 2026), both posted in late September and early October 2026; Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce bids for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with Wisconsin-sourced suppliers (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026). Buy American and domestic-sourcing requirements appear consistently across school-based solicitations, and many include prevailing wage, insurance, HACCP compliance, and E-Verify mandates.
