UNSPSC 50306903: Goldmine tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as goldmine tamarillo

UNSPSC 50306903 Goldmine tamarillo is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code primarily as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for institutional food service — correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, and child care programs. Recent solicitations show that the actual buying activity encompasses far more than the narrow commodity name suggests: tamarillo procurement is embedded in multi-item fresh-produce RFPs and bids that include apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, and berries. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations in the past month alone (Palestine facility, Snyder Food Warehouse, and Wynne Food Warehouse), indicating sustained institutional demand. Illinois correctional and mental health departments, Georgia school districts, Wisconsin school districts, Florida parks and recreation, and Texas child care programs are all active buyers. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, county parks departments, and Head Start and senior service agencies — a diverse institutional food-service base.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh produce RFP for its Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026, IW267420) and the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center fresh-fruits-and-vegetables small-purchase contract for fiscal year 2027 (due August 14, 2026, 27444DHSMENTHB53608); both are institutional supply arrangements with weekly or bi-weekly delivery. The Madison Metropolitan School District posted bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with geographic and organic-product preferences built in). DeSoto County School District in Mississippi sought fresh produce for 41 school sites on a cost-plus-fee basis (due June 22, 2026, 3170035984), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia bid over 200 produce line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026, PE67080NONST2027000000013). Most institutional buyers apply Buy American provisions, prevailing-wage compliance where required, HACCP plan submission, $1 million liability insurance, and E-Verify enrollment; local-vendor preferences appear in school district bids in Wisconsin and Georgia, and some buyers weight diverse-business status in evaluation.
