UNSPSC 50317010: Organic durian

The type of organic fruit known as organic durian

UNSPSC 50317010 Organic durian (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code is titled for organic durian specifically, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for durian or any tropical fruit exotic to the continental United States. Instead, the posted opportunities consist entirely of school nutrition produce contracts spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, peppers, tomatoes, eggs, and other staple fresh and processed produce items supplied to elementary, middle, and high schools across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's durian focus and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for specialty produce categories where durian does not appear in current institutional buying patterns.

Issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce contracts are overwhelmingly school districts and school systems across Georgia, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Florida, with repeat activity from Madison Metropolitan School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System coordinating multi-district buys through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Contracts are solicited as RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response windows typically 30–60 days, annual terms running July 1 through June 30, and estimated values ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan, petite bananas alone) to $5.5 million (Douglas County's two-area produce-and-eggs cooperative covering 30 districts). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, followed by Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Florida, with no recent activity showing procurement of organic durian or comparable specialty tropical fruits. The code does not reflect meaningful current procurement opportunity for specialty fruit suppliers.
