UNSPSC 50307012: Feijoa

The type of fruit known as feijoa

UNSPSC 50307012 Feijoa, a Commodity code, does not appear to drive meaningful state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a specific tropical fruit variety, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for feijoas or other tropical fruits by name. Instead, the block records seventeen fresh produce and food-service procurement actions spanning school districts, state corrections and mental health agencies, county parks departments, and municipal food programs across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Mississippi. These opportunities solicit bulk fresh vegetables (carrots, onions, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli), common fresh fruits (apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries), and comprehensive grocery and meal-service contracts. No vendor has been asked to source feijoas specifically, and no evidence suggests state and local procurement offices have tagged food-service or produce RFQs, RFPs, or IFBs with this commodity code in recent months.

The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the broad, active category of fresh-produce and food-service procurement reflects a common taxonomic misalignment in state and local systems. Produce and grocery purchasing is robust: Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple RFQs for fresh fruits and vegetables to support detention facilities; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Mississippi are actively bidding fresh produce contracts for school nutrition programs with typical awards ranging from $78,000 to $969,460.94; and county and municipal agencies are soliciting meal-service and produce-supply proposals with local-vendor preferences, CACFP compliance requirements, and Buy American provisions. Buyers in this space typically issue IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs under broader produce or grocery codes rather than single-fruit commodity classifications. If you service fresh-produce distribution or agricultural supply to state and local institutional food programs, audit your UNSPSC registration and the categories your prospects actually tag in their RFQs; this code shows no recent uptake in the market you are pursuing.
