UNSPSC 50306800: Sugar apple

The type of fruit known as sugar apple

UNSPSC 50306800 Sugar apple is a Class code that does not reflect the actual recent procurement activity tagged under it. State and local opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce distribution — fruits, vegetables, and related food-service items — rather than sugar apples specifically. The work involves supplying fresh produce to correctional facilities, school districts, senior centers, mental health centers, child care programs, and parks and recreation departments on recurring contracts, typically with weekly or bi-weekly delivery cycles, temperature control requirements, food-safety compliance, and USDA regulatory adherence including Buy American provisions and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) standards.

Recent activity spans Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh-fruit solicitations at Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine food warehouses; City of Edinburg CACFP meal program; City of San Antonio senior-center produce markets), Illinois (Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center; Illinois Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center), Florida (Collier County North Collier Regional Park food services), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education grocery procurement), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, and Early County; State of Georgia general food and kitchen products), and Mississippi (DeSoto County School District). School districts and state correctional or mental-health departments dominate the issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitation IW267420 for fresh fruit and vegetables to Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh-produce quote request for Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles (due July 29, 2026, with 5% diverse-owned business preference), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with 51% Buy American requirement (due June 26, 2026). The code's nominal scope — sugar apple — bears no relationship to what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under it.
