UNSPSC 50316906: Organic red delight tamarillo

The variety of organic tamarillo known as organic red delight tamarillo

UNSPSC 50316906 Organic red delight tamarillo, a Commodity code, shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen solicitations from school districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but none seek tamarillo or specialty fruit procurement under this code. The opportunities instead solicit fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and prepared vegetables—for school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participants. No issuing body has posted a solicitation naming tamarillo or organic red delight varieties.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities is stark. School districts procuring fresh produce for child nutrition use IFB, RFP, and RFQ mechanisms to source commodity fruits and vegetables by the case at volumes ranging from hundreds to thousands of cases annually, with pricing benchmarked against USDA market indices and payment terms of Net 30 to Net 40 days. None of the recent solicitations—from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, or Douglas County Schools—reference tamarillo or organic specialty fruit procurement at any tier. The code does not appear to be an active procurement category in the state and local education sector as currently reflected in recent RFP and IFB activity.
