UNSPSC 50307041: Copoazu

Type of fruit known as copoazu

UNSPSC 50307041 Copoazu is a Commodity code for fresh fruit procurement in state and local food service operations, though recent solicitations show the code is being used to tag a much broader range of fresh produce and grocery-supply work. State and local governments under this code are buying fresh fruits, vegetables, and related produce items—fresh bananas, apples, strawberries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and seasonal specialty items—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, child care food programs, and other institutional meal services. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments and state mental health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County), municipalities (City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), nonprofit child and family service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas Department of Criminal Justice is the most active repeat buyer in the dataset, with multiple fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations across different food warehouse locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and Connecticut, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Request for Proposals for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, Texas (Solicitation IW267376, due October 19, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' Request for Quotes for bi-weekly fresh-produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (Solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's Invitation for Bids for petite bananas at $78,000 estimated annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System's Request for Proposal for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). School districts frequently incorporate geographic-preference and local-sourcing requirements, Buy American domestic-content mandates, and sustainability or organic-product evaluation points. Set-asides for small business, minority-owned, and woman-owned enterprises appear in select school-district and state-agency solicitations. Delivery frequencies range from bi-weekly to daily, with quality standards, HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, and temperature-control requirements standard across institutional buyers.
