UNSPSC 50307047 Tarepiba (Commodity) covers fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food-service operations—primarily correctional facilities, mental-health centers, school districts, senior services, and child-care programs. State and local governments procure tarepiba as a line item within broader food-service contracts or under dedicated produce-supply solicitations, typically requiring bi-weekly or weekly deliveries of specified quantities meeting USDA or facility-specific quality standards, food-safety certification (HACCP), and compliance with prevailing-wage rules where applicable. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, municipal human-services departments, and specialized regional health coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations in September and October 2026 for warehouses serving multiple facilities.

Recent activity clusters heavily in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued RFPs for produce supply to facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville between late September and mid-October 2026 (solicitations IW267420, IW267411, IW267376, response dates October 14–19, 2026). Georgia school districts—Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, and Early County—issued sealed-bid or RFP procurements for fresh produce in the May–June 2026 window, with contract terms beginning July 1, 2026 and running through June 30, 2027. Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center) issued RFQs and small-purchase solicitations in August 2026 with small-business set-asides and prevailing-wage requirements. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs for petite bananas and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks in July 2026, with weekly usage targets of 70–90 cases and approximately 5,900 weekly servings respectively. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at a regional park with a local-vendor 10-point preference in March 2025 (note: due date listed as March 6, 2025, predating the October 2026 posting date and likely a data error). School districts and institutional food programs account for the plurality of solicitations; contract values where disclosed range from estimated annual amounts of $78,000 (Madison petite bananas) to $969,460.94 (Head Start of Greater Dallas grocery procurement including produce).
