UNSPSC 50307001: Akee

The type of fruit known as akee

UNSPSC 50307001 Akee is a Commodity code that appears to see minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government, based on recent solicitation records. The code nominally identifies a single tropical fruit product, but current state and local opportunities do not reflect targeted akee procurement; instead, issuing bodies across the country are actively buying comprehensive fresh produce packages—including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—through school nutrition programs, child care food initiatives, and institutional meal services. The recent opportunity record contains no standalone akee solicitations. When tropical or specialty fruits are named in school district and municipal food service RFPs, they appear as minor line items within larger fresh-produce acquisitions, typically bundled with dozens of commodity fruits and vegetables under broader Class or Family codes rather than flagged to this specific Commodity tier.

Issuing bodies active in produce procurement span school districts (including Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County, Madison Metropolitan, and many others across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and other states), municipal food service departments (Bridgeport, San Antonio, Meriden), Head Start and child care nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county boards of education. The geographic spread is national, with heavy concentration in Georgia and Texas school districts, followed by Florida, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program produce (74 elementary schools, cost-plus contract, proposals due March 11, 2026), the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs RFP serving 30 Georgia school districts (proposals due March 4, 2026), and the Austin ISD fresh produce and beverages RFP (proposals due March 11, 2026). None of these opportunities specifically target akee; the code's nominal product does not appear in any posted recent solicitation.
