UNSPSC 50307049: Taperiba

Tropical mango-like fruit, also called plum

UNSPSC 50307049 Taperiba, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce supply to state and local institutions—primarily correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, child care programs, and healthcare facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local procurement offices buying fresh fruits and vegetables through standing contracts with regular delivery schedules, often specifying ripeness stages, case sizes, quality standards, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation, and compliance with USDA Buy American rules or local-sourcing preferences. The issuing-body mix spans Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouse supply contracts), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, school districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas, county health systems, Head Start organizations, and municipal senior services divisions. Institutional food service procurement under this code emphasizes standardized specifications, certified deliveries, volume commitments across multiple sites, and compliance with federal child nutrition or corrections food-service regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with heavy representation from Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Hancock County, DeSoto County), Texas corrections and municipal procurement (TDCJ Palestine, Snyder, Wynne food warehouse contracts; City of Edinburg CACFP program; Head Start of Greater Dallas; San Antonio senior services), Illinois state facilities (Joliet Treatment Center, Madden Mental Health Center), and Wisconsin school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks). Representative recent solicitations include TDCJ's RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026), Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas at $78,000 annual value (due July 29, 2026), and Bartow County Schools' RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). Contract terms typically run one year with renewal options; pricing is frequently firm for contract duration with escalation clauses tied to USDA indices or CPI data; and delivery requirements are strict, often specifying temperature maintenance, 97–98 percent fill rates, and next-business-day substitution obligations.
