UNSPSC 50315101: Organic green cooking papayas

The variety of organic papayas known as organic green cooking papayas

UNSPSC 50315101 Organic green cooking papayas, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal relevant activity — one solicitation names papayas as a single line item among 200+ produce items in a multi-year school district procurement (Hancock County Schools' IFB for 2026-27 fresh produce). The code's narrow commodity scope does not align with the broader fresh-produce categories that dominate recent state and local activity under related produce codes, where school districts are soliciting comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts that span dozens of line items across multiple seasons and delivery locations.

School nutrition programs across Georgia and Texas are the primary issuing bodies active in fresh-produce procurement right now, with activity concentrated among independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent), county school systems (Douglas County), and one state agency (Georgia Department). Recent solicitations reflect standing demand for fresh produce delivered to school nutrition programs under IFB, RFP, and ITB structures, typically for 12-month contract periods running July through June with renewal options. The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) covers approximately 72 produce line items for 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two); other representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026, 200+ line items), Bulloch County's local-produce RFP (due May 4, 2026, emphasizing farm-to-school within 200 miles), and Austin ISD's fresh-produce and beverages RFP (due March 11, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas Counties) and Texas (McAllen, Austin), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). Papayas appear incidentally in multi-category produce procurements but do not drive procurement volume or represent a standalone commodity opportunity in state and local school nutrition markets.
