UNSPSC 50307039: Lucuma

Type of fruit known as lucuma

UNSPSC 50307039 Lucuma, a Commodity code, identifies fresh fruit procurement tied primarily to institutional food service — specifically fresh produce and mixed fruit and vegetable supply to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, and senior programs. The recent opportunity set shows state and local buyers sourcing bananas, mixed fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes), and seasonal fruits for meal programs serving incarcerated populations, school children, seniors, and facility-based populations. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas, Illinois, Georgia), county and city school nutrition programs (Madison, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bartow County, Bridgeport Board of Education), city senior services divisions (San Antonio), counties (Collier County, Florida), and nonprofit child care networks (Head Start, Edinburg CACFP). Repeat soliciting bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which posted three fresh fruit and vegetable RFQs in late September and October 2026 alone — one for the Palestine facility, one for the Snyder Food Warehouse, and one for the Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Florida between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Palestine facility (IW267376, RFQ, due October 19, 2026), requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery; Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), bidding 70–90 cases weekly of petite bananas (5"–5.5" length, ripeness stages 3.5–4.5 per Chiquita standards) for an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 through June 30, 2027; the Illinois Department of Corrections, Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, RFQ, due September 3, 2026), seeking bi-weekly deliver of specified fresh produce under a small business set-aside; and Bartow County School System, Georgia (10-2026-019, RFP, due June 22, 2026), requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles for the 2026–2027 school year. School districts frequently apply local-vendor preferences (Collier County ITN weights local preference at 10 evaluation points; Bartow County and Madison District emphasize 400-mile sourcing); Buy American requirements are standard across school nutrition contracts (51% domestic agricultural content minimum). Payment terms typically run Net 30–45 days, with contract terms of one year standard and renewals common. Incumbent or repeat buyers show no dominant national vendor pattern — the code shows fragmented, locality-driven procurement reflecting meal-program operational needs rather than consolidated commodity purchasing.
