UNSPSC 50307042: Poma rosa

Type of fruit known as poma rosa

UNSPSC 50307042 Poma rosa, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit procurement by state and local government entities, particularly poma rosa (red apples) and related fresh produce used in institutional food service. State and local buyers are sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, child care, mental health centers, parks and recreation concessions, and healthcare facilities. The mix of issuing bodies reflects institutional food-service demand across corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), K–12 school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, DeSoto County, Bartow County in Georgia), Head Start and child care (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg CACFP meal program), senior services (City of San Antonio), county health and mental health (Collier County Parks & Recreation, Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Center, Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (Illinois, Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, typically issuing RFBs (Request for Bids) or sealed bids for produce contracts running July through June across one school year, often with renewal options.

Recent solicitations center on Georgia (Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, DeSoto County), Texas (TDCJ facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne; Head Start of Greater Dallas; City of Edinburg), Illinois (Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center, Department of Mental Health Madden Center), Florida (Collier County North Collier Regional Park), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District for petite bananas and fresh fruit snacks), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and Michigan (Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (4162, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections' small-purchase quote for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, with small-business set-aside). School districts commonly apply Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), local-sourcing preferences (400 miles in some Georgia and Wisconsin procurements), diverse-business evaluation credits, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges; contract terms typically run one year with optional renewals and weekly or bi-weekly delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites.
