UNSPSC 50307037: Tamarindo

The type of fruit known as tamarindo

UNSPSC 50307037 Tamarindo (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity bearing this code. The source contains no solicitations for tamarindo, a tropical fruit, and the 25 recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass entirely different product categories: fresh produce distribution (mixed fruits and vegetables), school nutrition groceries, frozen foods, dried fruits and nuts, eggs, and beverages for child care programs, school districts, and corrections facilities.

The recent opportunities show sustained activity across school nutrition programs, child care food services, and institutional foodservice in multiple states, with issuing bodies including independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hillsborough County, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District), county school boards (Glynn County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, DeSoto County, Early County), a state education cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts), Head Start child care programs, city municipal food programs (San Antonio senior services, Bridgeport Board of Education, City of Edinburg CACFP), and county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff). Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas RFP 2026017 for CACFP meal program items (due August 4, 2026) covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products; Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); the GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas in Georgia (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million; and Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (due March 11, 2026). The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement suggests this code either misclassifies tamarindo procurement across state and local systems or captures institutional produce distribution under an erroneous commodity label.
