UNSPSC 50307027: Quenepas

The type of fruit known as quenepas

UNSPSC 50307027 Quenepas is a Commodity code for fresh quenepas (also known as Spanish limes or genip fruit), though the recent state and local procurement record under this code shows no direct solicitations for quenepas themselves. Instead, issuing bodies are tagging produce procurement opportunities—including fresh fruits, vegetables, and mixed produce supply contracts—under this commodity classification, indicating either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all for specialty or imported fresh produce. State and local governments actually purchasing under this code encompass school nutrition programs, corrections and mental health facilities, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the broad geography of institutional food service: Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, multiple Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, DeSoto County), Wisconsin and Connecticut school districts, Florida county parks, Texas city-based child and adult care programs, and specialized organizations like Head Start operations and San Antonio senior services. Most recent solicitations issued between May and October 2026 target produce delivery under IFB, RFP, and ITN vehicles.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast—particularly Georgia, where at least six school districts and one county are actively procuring produce—with secondary activity in Texas (TDCJ corrections facilities, city nutrition programs), Illinois (state corrections and mental health), Wisconsin (school districts), Connecticut (school district), and Florida (county parks). Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable bids for the Palestine facility (IW267376, due October 19, 2026), Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026), and Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce bid for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026); the City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program bid (RFP 2026-017, local-vendor preference, due August 4, 2026); Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP with a 400-mile sourcing requirement (10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB (4162, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks RFB (4163, due July 29, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's large-scale grocery and produce bid spanning over 1,100 line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). Most contracts run one fiscal year with optional renewal periods, require Buy American compliance where applicable, and mandate food-safety certification (HACCP), liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million per occurrence), and prompt payment terms (NET 30 to NET 45).
