UNSPSC 50306905: Red beau tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as red beau tamarillo

UNSPSC 50306905 Red beau tamarillo is a Commodity code that represents a single fresh fruit product line. State and local governments procure red beau tamarillo and other fresh produce items through food service contracts serving correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, and child care programs. The recent opportunities in the source, however, show no specific demand for red beau tamarillo by name. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broader fresh fruit and vegetable supplies—including apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes—through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, child and adult care food programs, and social services agencies. A handful of solicitations name fruit snacks, petite bananas, and grocery items broadly, but none target tamarillo as a line item. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), city departments (Bridgeport Board of Education, City of San Antonio), and specialized agencies (Head Start, Marion Health Care Coalition, Collier County Parks & Recreation). Procurement instruments include sealed bids (IFB), requests for proposals (RFP), invitations to negotiate (ITN), and small purchase processes.

The most recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Hancock County, Early County) and Texas agencies (TDCJ corrections warehouses, City of Edinburg child care, Head Start of Greater Dallas) dominate the posting record from May through October 2026, with additional solicitations from Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Florida (Collier County), and Mississippi (DeSoto County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IFB IW267376, IW267420, IW267411; due October 14–19, 2026), Collier County Board of Commissioners soliciting food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, due March 6, 2025—a delayed or extended deadline), and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162; $78,000 estimated annual value; due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163; due July 29, 2026) sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin. The code shows no current market-specific demand for red beau tamarillo and appears to carry minimal pursuit opportunity in its Commodity form.
