UNSPSC 50315908: Organic wonderful pommegranates

The variety of organic pommegranates known as organic wonderful pommegranates

UNSPSC 50315908 Organic wonderful pommegranates, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted in the source. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code instead solicit fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food service products for school nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, eggs, and mixed produce categories—rather than pomegranates or organic fruit specialty items. The opportunities reflect institutional food service procurement for K–12 school districts and county education boards, driven primarily by the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent activity. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issuing RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus, due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations consistently emphasize cost (typically 30–50 points), product quality and availability, vendor experience, compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety standards, and references. The code shows activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement; however, the specific commodity (organic pomegranates) does not appear in the recent posted opportunities, indicating a potential misclassification or a gap between the code's nominal scope and current state and local buying patterns.
