UNSPSC 50316502: Organic black sapotes

The variety of organic sapotes known as organic black sapotes

UNSPSC 50316502 Organic black sapotes is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The single opportunity posted under this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026—is a standard school nutrition procurement for conventional bananas (Chiquita-standard color guide, ripeness stages 3.5–4.5), not organic sapotes. The geographic and issuing-body data in the recent-opportunities block reflect school district food service procurement broadly, dominated by Georgia and Wisconsin school nutrition programs soliciting fresh produce, fruits, eggs, and related supplies for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, Farm to School initiatives, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty fruits) with delivery to three school sites and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Bulloch County School District's RFP for 24 locally-sourced produce items grown within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026; and Liberty County Board of Education's dual IFBs for produce and food products due April 29, 2026, covering over 400 food items and produce across 13 school sites. Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (SN 26-004) serves 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with approximately 72 produce line items and estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Austin Independent School District and McAllen Independent School District (Texas) also solicited fresh produce and beverages for child nutrition programs in February and early March 2026.

The code shows no procurement activity for organic black sapotes specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body composition, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Texas. If pursuing institutional fresh produce supply generally—whether conventional or organic—align your capability statement and references with school nutrition program requirements: HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, Buy American compliance (domestic commodities or products with at least 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), delivery infrastructure (early-morning weekly or twice-weekly routes to multiple sites), insurance coverage ($500,000 to $2 million general liability depending on district), E-Verify authorization, and demonstrated experience with public school food service operations.
