UNSPSC 50307016: Jackfruit

The type of fruit known as jackfruit

UNSPSC 50307016 Jackfruit is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce procurement across correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and regional parks. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fresh fruits and vegetables—including jackfruit where specified—as components of larger food-service contracts. Recent activity shows that jackfruit itself rarely appears as a standalone line item; instead, the code tags broad fresh-produce solicitations that bundle multiple fruit and vegetable categories. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFQs for food warehouses serving incarcerated populations, the Illinois Department of Corrections sought bi-weekly produce delivery to the Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside, and school districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, and other states regularly solicit fresh-produce suppliers for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, county school nutrition programs, city food-service operations, and municipal senior-services divisions. The solicitations emphasize compliance with USDA standards, CACFP regulations, Buy American sourcing thresholds (typically 51% domestic content), HACCP food-safety plans, and temperature-controlled delivery logistics.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and Connecticut, with school districts appearing as the dominant repeat buyer across the sample. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, Texas, RFQ due October 19, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (proposals due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference); DeSoto County School District's produce procurement for 41 school sites (sealed bids due June 22, 2026, cost-plus-fee model with 97% service-level requirement); and the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items solicitation for the school board covering 1,100+ line items including fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American Provision and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards). Madison Metropolitan School District's petite-banana bid (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, $78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable-snacks procurement (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, requiring 400-mile sourcing within Wisconsin) exemplify the trend toward local-sourcing preferences and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Most school contracts run July through June and allow multiple vendor awards; insurance requirements range from $500,000 to $1 million general liability, and prevailing-wage compliance applies in union jurisdictions.
