UNSPSC 50307046: Star fruit

Type of fruit known as star fruit

UNSPSC 50307046 Star fruit is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities show little activity specifically for star fruit and instead reflect broad fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts. State and local buyers under this code are predominantly school nutrition programs, correctional and mental health facilities, senior services divisions, and child care food programs sourcing fresh produce for meal service. The work spans single-item commodity buys (petite bananas for Madison Metropolitan School District at $78,000 annually) to comprehensive multi-item fresh produce contracts covering dozens of varieties and serving dozens of locations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, and Bryan County all in Georgia or Wisconsin; state agencies including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Illinois Department of Corrections also solicit under the code for facility food service. Most contracts require USDA Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and delivery schedules tied to meal cycles—typically Monday through Friday before noon or mid-morning to central warehouse or multiple school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut) and reflects school-year procurement cycles with contract terms running July through June. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to Palestine, Texas (due October 19, 2026), requiring electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal; the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and a three-year contract term); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (due July 29, 2026, with a 5% preference for Wisconsin Diversity Program certified vendors); and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for grocery products supporting child care programs ($969,460.94 estimated value, pre-bid conference April 16, 2026, sealed bids due June 24, 2026, with weighted scoring favoring unit price and product quality). Most school districts and facility operators apply firm-price or cost-plus-fee models with Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms and mandate $1 million general liability insurance as standard.
