UNSPSC 50317037: Organic tamarindo

The type of organic fruit known as organic tamarindo

UNSPSC 50317037 Organic tamarindo, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—organic tamarind products—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. Instead, the posted opportunities overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce broadly (bananas, fruits, vegetables, and prepared produce items) for school nutrition programs, with no tamarind or tamarindo-specific solicitations appearing in the dataset. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error or extremely limited demand for the specific commodity in state and local markets.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Florida dominate recent activity in the broader fresh-produce category, issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive annual produce contracts. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026, estimated at $78,000 annually) and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026). The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covers 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas. Buyers consistently emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, 98 percent fill rates, and compliance with USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program standards. Given the absence of tamarind-specific demand in recent postings, vendors pursuing this code should verify current state and local demand signals before committing business development resources.
