UNSPSC 50307038: Camu camu

Type of fruit known as camu camu

UNSPSC 50307038 Camu camu, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line in state and local procurement, but the recent solicitation activity shows virtually no demand for this specific ingredient. Instead, state and local food service programs—primarily school districts, county child nutrition authorities, and municipal senior services—are actively procuring fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts, and comprehensive grocery items to support school meals, child care programs, senior center operations, and correctional facility food services. The work being solicited spans standardized institutional food sourcing with strict compliance requirements: CACFP and USDA National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions mandating domestic sourcing where practicable, HACCP plans, food traceability, and detailed nutritional specifications. Issuing bodies include large school districts (Austin ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District), county school systems across Georgia, municipal departments (City of Edinburg, City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden), Head Start providers, and cooperative purchasing consortiums (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts). The sourcing mix emphasizes volume commodity buys of staple produce (apples, bananas, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes), specialty items (berries, citrus, prepared salads), and complementary products (eggs, dried fruits, nuts, beverages).

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted by school districts in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Oregon, and county and municipal food service programs nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, weekly usage 70–90 cases, estimated annual value $78,000); the City of Bridgeport's solicitation for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's food service (BID BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, requiring domestic agricultural content compliance and nutritional certification); the GEC Buying Cooperative's procurement across two Georgia regions for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated market size approximately $5.5 million annually across 30 school districts); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fresh fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (26039RFPDST, estimated annual budget $600,000, deliveries to 18 elementary schools, cost-plus-fixed-fee structure). The code shows no posted opportunities specifically for camu camu; pursue this code only if your firm supplies mainstream produce or institutional grocery categories and can demonstrate cost and supply-chain advantages in categories actually being solicited.
