UNSPSC 50307010: Durian

The type of fruit known as durian

UNSPSC 50307010 Durian is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty fresh fruits for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to fresh produce procurement more broadly, including bananas, apples, strawberries, and other produce items beyond durian specifically. State and local governments use this code to solicit fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, child care food service, senior nutrition initiatives, and correctional facility meal provision. Issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes (from small rural districts to large urban systems like Austin ISD and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county boards of education, city departments of human services, cooperative purchasing consortia (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30+ Georgia districts), and county sheriff's departments. The work solicited includes weekly produce delivery to multiple school and facility sites with strict freshness and quality standards, HACCP compliance and food safety documentation, adherence to Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing where practicable, and integration with district ordering and inventory systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where school districts across the state—including Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, and Liberty County—issued sealed bids and RFPs for fresh produce between March and July 2026. Texas school districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) also posted major solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP Meal Program supplies due August 4, 2026, encompassing beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies for 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated $78,000 annual value) due July 29, 2026; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas (Area One: $4.4 million estimated annual spending, 18 districts; Area Two: $1.1 million, 12 districts) with cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing due March 4, 2026. School districts consistently weight cost at 30–50 percent of evaluation, quality and food safety compliance at 15–25 percent, and delivery reliability and vendor experience at 10–20 percent; many solicitations allow multiple vendor awards on a line-item basis to optimize pricing across produce categories.
