UNSPSC 50306902: Bold gold tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as bold gold tamarillo

UNSPSC 50306902 Bold gold tamarillo, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce procured by state and local education and child nutrition agencies, though recent state and local opportunities show limited direct solicitation for this specific fruit variety. The code sits within the broader ecosystem of school nutrition procurement, where education agencies, child nutrition programs, and food service departments source diverse fresh produce—including specialty fruits—to meet CACFP, USDA school lunch, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program requirements. Recent opportunities tagged under produce and fresh fruit categories emphasize purchasing of common staple fruits (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons) and vegetables in high volume across institutional settings, with minimal direct procurement activity for tamarillo or other specialty tropical fruits visible in the source block.

State and local issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools and multiple Georgia county boards of education; Henry County Schools, Georgia; Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, and Hancock County school systems in Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; McAllen and Austin independent school districts in Texas), municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), child care and Head Start programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (ten-plus recent school district solicitations for fresh produce), Texas (multiple child nutrition and school district procurements), Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's sealed bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000) with strict ripeness and temperature specifications; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty items; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's regional produce procurement across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated combined annual spending approximately $5.5 million). The code shows measurable procurement activity in institutional foodservice, but that activity centers on high-volume commodity fruits and vegetables rather than specialty tropical varieties like tamarillo; vendors pursuing this code should recognize that bold gold tamarillo specifically appears absent from recent solicitations and focus business development on the broader fresh-produce ecosystem where state and local demand is concentrated.
