UNSPSC 50306904: Oratia red tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as oratia red tamarillo

UNSPSC 50306904 Oratia red tamarillo (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. No sourcing opportunities for this specific produce variety were identified in posted solicitations dated from April through October 2026.

The recent opportunities in the broader fresh produce category across state and local jurisdictions overwhelmingly target institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and other government-operated cafeteria operations. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple prison food warehouses (Palestine and Snyder facilities, October 2026 due dates), the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center (small-business set-aside, September 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (July 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia seeking over 200 line items of fresh produce including standard varieties such as apples, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens (June 2026). School districts and state correctional or mental health agencies constitute the dominant buyer pool. The geographic spread favors Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with school districts and state agency facilities forming the procurement base. Sourcing requirements consistently emphasize domestic sourcing under Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, HACCP plans, bulk case-pack deliveries to central warehouses or individual school sites, and competitive pricing on commodity-grade produce rather than specialty varieties. The code shows no evidence of tamarillo procurement — institutional buyers focus on high-volume, cost-competitive standard produce with established supply chains.
