UNSPSC 50307046: Star fruit

Type of fruit known as star fruit

UNSPSC 50307046 Star fruit is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh tropical and specialty fruits procured by state and local governments for child nutrition, school food service, and senior services programs. The code sees minimal direct activity in recent state and local solicitations — no posted opportunities explicitly name star fruit as a line item. However, the code sits within the broader fresh produce procurement ecosystem that state and local education and human services agencies actively solicit. Recent opportunities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon show school districts, child care providers, and senior services divisions routinely procuring mixed fresh fruit categories that include specialty and tropical items alongside commodity fruits like apples, bananas, and citrus.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from child care food programs (CACFP providers), special-purpose districts, and municipal senior services. Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 districts) post the heaviest recent volume. Texas school districts and child care providers in Edinburg, McAllen, and Austin also show sustained procurement of mixed fresh fruit. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Central Point School District in Oregon, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and the City of San Antonio's senior services division round out the geographic spread. Most solicitations use sealed bid (IFB) or RFP vehicles with response dates in late March through June 2026, and many apply Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and a 98–100 percent fill-rate expectation. No recent opportunity names star fruit explicitly or positions it as a primary line item, suggesting it functions as a specialty or seasonal component within broader produce contracts rather than a standalone procurement driver.
