UNSPSC 50307030: Roselle

The type of fruit known as roselle

UNSPSC 50307030 Roselle, a Commodity code, identifies produce and snack items that state and local governments—primarily school districts and food service programs—procure as components of child nutrition, senior services, and correctional facility meal programs. Recent solicitations reveal that this code captures fresh and processed fruits, vegetables, eggs, dried goods, and specialty produce items delivered under fixed-price, cost-plus-fee, or open-market pricing structures to support National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with city and county food service departments, Head Start programs, senior centers, and correctional facilities also active buyers. State-level cooperative purchasing vehicles—such as the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts—aggregate demand and create larger contract opportunities than single-district procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with recent opportunities from the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, and Bulloch County School District (all Georgia), alongside McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District in Texas. School districts in Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Oregon, and California round out the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP for CACFP meal items due August 4, 2026 (RFP2026017), covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children; Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles); the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia areas (due March 4, 2026, estimated combined spending $5.5 million); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP proposal solicitation (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation, and competitive pricing indexed to USDA market reports or negotiated fixed fees appear across all recent procurements, with many districts applying preferences for local or domestic sourcing and awarding to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
