UNSPSC 50317006: Organic canistel

The type of organic fruit known as organic canistel

UNSPSC 50317006 Organic canistel, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a single tropical fruit variety, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no actual procurement activity for canistel. Instead, the code's recent opportunities are dominated by fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, predominantly bananas and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables rather than canistel specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District is soliciting petite bananas in 150-count case packs under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026), with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases during school sessions. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts and school boards at the county and municipal level—Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, and others—with a handful of municipal or regional programs such as Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa) and Salt Lake City School District. No state departments or transit authorities appear in the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, Utah, and Texas. Georgia hosts Hancock County, Bartow County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Douglas County Schools, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, all soliciting fresh produce under RFBs, IFBs, or RFPs with response dates between late February and late July 2026. Outside Georgia, Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) is soliciting petite bananas and mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFBs due July 29, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issued RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with proposals due March 11, 2026 and an estimated annual budget of $600,000. Austin Independent School District (Texas) released RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026. Salt Lake City School District issued IFB DH2647-FPD for 60 produce line items due April 1, 2026. McAllen Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce due March 6, 2026. The code shows a material mismatch between its nominal definition and actual purchasing activity—it is tagged with general school nutrition produce procurement rather than canistel-specific sourcing, making this code poorly aligned with the business development professional's procurement intelligence needs.
