UNSPSC 50306903: Goldmine tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as goldmine tamarillo

UNSPSC 50306903 Goldmine tamarillo is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as specialty fresh produce for school meal programs and child nutrition services. Recent solicitations show school districts, municipal food service departments, and child care organizations buying goldmine tamarillo and related fresh fruit items through formal competitive bids and RFPs to support National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program operations. The solicitations emphasize compliance with USDA nutrition standards, Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements, and HACCP food safety protocols, with vendors required to deliver produce meeting specified ripeness, temperature, and shelf-life standards to school warehouses and individual school sites on rigid weekly schedules.

The code sees sustained activity across school districts in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Oregon, with the bulk of recent opportunities concentrated among Georgia school districts and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, July 29, 2026 response date), Bartow County School System (Georgia) RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (June 22, 2026 deadline), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce to 18 elementary schools ($600,000 annual budget, August 4, 2026 estimated award), and the GEC Buying Cooperative (30 Georgia districts) RFP for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas ($5.5 million combined annual spending, March 4, 2026 deadline). School districts typically award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis, with evaluation weighted toward cost competitiveness (30–50 points), product quality and availability (15–30 points), delivery reliability and service (15–25 points), and vendor qualifications and references (10–20 points). Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with optional one-year renewal periods. The code shows no current activity specific to goldmine tamarillo as a named item; the recent opportunities reference broader fresh fruit categories (apples, bananas, berries, oranges, specialty tropical fruits) in which goldmine tamarillo may be included as a seasonal or specialty variant within existing produce line items.
