UNSPSC 50306803: Thai lessard sugar apple

The variety of sugar apples known as thai lessard sugar apple

UNSPSC 50306803 Thai lessard sugar apple is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement, though the code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent state and local solicitation activity. State and local governments are buying fresh fruits and vegetables broadly—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and other produce items—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. The issuing bodies span state departments of criminal justice and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, special-purpose districts such as Head Start agencies and health care coalitions, county commissioners' offices, and municipal departments. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears repeatedly, soliciting fresh produce for multiple food warehouse locations; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Illinois represent the largest concentration of recent activity. The mix suggests steady demand from institutional food service operations rather than concentrated repeat-buyer relationships.

Recent activity spans early to mid-2026, with the most active period in May through August. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for delivery to Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IFB/RFQ IW267376 and IW267420, responses due October 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across over 200 line items for school year 2026–27 (IFB SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas procuring approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat for child care programs under CACFP (IFB 26-GP, sealed bids due June 24, 2026, estimated total value $969,460.94). Many school districts apply Buy American requirements, local sourcing or geographic preferences, and weighted evaluation criteria favoring cost alongside food safety, product quality, and diverse-owned business status. The code shows active procurement across the South and Midwest, with notable concentrations in Georgia school districts and Texas institutional food service, though the specific commodity—Thai lessard sugar apple—does not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.
