UNSPSC 50307035: Soursops

The type of fruit known as soursops

UNSPSC 50307035 Soursops is a Commodity code that describes fresh fruit supply to institutional food service operations, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on broader fresh produce procurement — primarily fresh fruits and vegetables, and occasionally processed or ready-to-eat produce items — rather than soursops specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities (multiple food warehouses), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health treatment centers, school districts (Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin; Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, and Bryan County in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi), Head Start and child care programs, county parks departments (Collier County, Florida), and senior services divisions. The work encompasses institutional produce supply contracts supporting correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and senior center distribution operations. Most solicitations are IFBs or RFPs for fresh or ready-to-eat produce with specifications for quality, delivery frequency, temperature control, and compliance with USDA standards and food safety regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with scattered opportunities in Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for the Palestine facility (IFB IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IFB IW267420 and IW267411, both due October 14, 2026); Illinois Department of Mental Health's fresh fruits and vegetables contract for Madden Mental Health Center (RFQ 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant approval); Head Start of Greater Dallas fresh produce procurement (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026, estimated total value $969,460.94); and Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce bid (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items). School districts and correctional systems dominate the buyer base, with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance, HACCP plans, and local or diverse-vendor preferences appearing frequently in evaluation criteria.
