UNSPSC 50315102: Organic maradol papayas

The variety of organic papayas known as organic maradol papayas

UNSPSC 50315102 Organic maradol papayas is a Commodity code that names a single produce line item, yet state and local procurement activity under this code is minimal. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting organic maradol papayas; instead, the code is tagged to school nutrition procurements soliciting broad fresh produce portfolios that include papayas as one line item among dozens of fruits and vegetables. The Douglas County School System RFP for the GEC Buying Cooperative lists papayas among approximately 72 produce line items, Hancock County Schools' 2026–27 fresh produce procurement names papayas and specialty items in a multi-hundred-item scope, and Bulloch County's Farm to School RFP encompasses 24 produce items without isolating papayas as a distinct requirement. State and local procurement offices do not issue separate bids for individual produce varieties; they consolidate purchasing across entire produce families and award to vendors who can supply the full portfolio on a line-item basis. The issuing bodies are school districts and county school systems across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, reflecting the geographic concentration of school nutrition procurement nationally.

School districts in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Early County, and Bartow County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) have posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce between February and July 2026, with response dates clustering in March through May 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce line items including papayas, and Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 locally grown produce items (responses due May 4, 2026) for its Farm to School program. Vendors responding to these solicitations compete on unit pricing, delivery reliability, product quality, and compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety plans. Because organic maradol papayas do not appear as a standalone requirement in any identified opportunity, pursuit of this code depends on vendors' ability to supply a minority item within larger produce portfolios at competitive pricing relative to conventional varieties.
