UNSPSC 50306900: Tamarillo

The type of fruit known as tamarillo

UNSPSC 50306900 Tamarillo, a Class code, names a single specialty produce item that rarely appears in state and local procurement — the recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations for tamarillos or tamarillo products. The code sits within the broader produce and food service category, where school districts, counties, cities, and institutional food services contract for fresh fruits and vegetables to support child nutrition, senior services, and correctional facility programs. However, tamarillos themselves do not surface in current state and local bidding activity; the opportunities presented under this code taxonomy span fresh produce procurement broadly (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items like mangoes and kiwis), but tamarillos are absent from specification sheets, bid documents, and vendor line items across the recent opportunities posted.

State and local procurement activity in the fresh produce and food service space is concentrated heavily among school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Bulloch County Schools in Georgia; Henry County Schools in Georgia; and multiple other districts across the South and Midwest), municipal and county nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Connecticut, City of San Antonio senior services, DeSoto County School District Mississippi), and cooperative purchasing consortiums (GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 Georgia districts). Geographic distribution spans Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Georgia, Utah, Oregon, and California, with Georgia showing particularly dense recent activity across school nutrition and produce procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, due 29 July 2026), McAllen Independent School District's RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce across 31 campuses (due 6 March 2026, extended), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas in Georgia (due 4 March 2026, $5.5 million estimated annual spend). Tamarillo procurement does not appear in this activity; vendors pursuing this code should validate whether state and local nutrition programs have actual specifications or demand before committing resources to market development in this segment.
