UNSPSC 50307045: Guaba

Type of fruit known as guaba

UNSPSC 50307045 Guaba (Commodity) covers fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery to state and local institutional food service operations — correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior centers, and child care programs. State and local procurement offices are sourcing guaba primarily as part of broader produce procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no standalone guaba-specific solicitations; instead, guaba appears embedded within multi-item fresh produce contracts where it may or may not be specified by name. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county commissioners, county boards of education, and special-purpose districts including Head Start agencies and senior service divisions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh produce solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine facility, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse) with response dates in mid-October 2026. Illinois Department of Corrections issued a small-business set-aside RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center due September 3, 2026. Institutional food service procurement under this code typically requires compliance with federal nutrition standards (USDA, CACFP, National School Lunch Program), prevailing wage certification where applicable, HACCP plans, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and Wisconsin. School districts dominate the volume of recent solicitations, with Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026), Bryan County Schools (sealed bid for produce, due May 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce SY27, due June 26, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education (sealed bid for fresh produce, due June 16, 2026), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid, due June 8, 2026), and Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables, due June 22, 2026) all posting in the May–July 2026 window. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services, due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference) and City of San Antonio Department of Human Services (RFP 26-070 for senior center produce markets, due May 27, 2026) represent non-school jurisdictions. City of Bridgeport Board of Education (grocery items bid with 1,100+ line items and Buy American requirement, due June 30, 2026) and Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP for grocery products, $969,460.94 estimated value, due June 24, 2026) illustrate the scale and compliance complexity of child nutrition procurement. Geographic preference and domestic-sourcing mandates appear frequently, with Wisconsin and Georgia emphasizing local-farm sourcing (Bartow County: 400-mile radius; Madison: 400-mile radius and Wisconsin origin; multiple Georgia school districts: Buy American 51% domestic agricultural commodity minimum). Response deadlines cluster in May through July 2026 for school-year supply contracts and June through October 2026 for immediate institutional needs.
