UNSPSC 50404701: Amarilla malanga

The variety of malanga known as amarilla malanga

UNSPSC 50404701 Amarilla malanga is a Commodity code tracking fresh produce supply for institutional food service. The code captures procurement of tuber and root vegetables, though recent state and local opportunities logged under it span a broader fresh-produce category — apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and leafy greens delivered to school districts, correctional institutions, mental-health facilities, senior centers, and other public food-service operations. State and local buyers include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (operating state supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, county school systems in Georgia (Bartow, Bryan, Dougherty, Early), Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, and municipal senior-services divisions. The work involves commodity procurement with firm fixed pricing, delivery on FOB Destination terms, compliance with USDA grade standards, food-safety documentation, and responsive fulfillment on bi-weekly to weekly schedules.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and fresh food service items to supply state living centers (Lufkin, Mexia) with response dates in August and October 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited fresh fruit and vegetable supply to correctional food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, Palestine) and bulk white and sweet potatoes on compressed timelines in June and September–October 2026. Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County) have issued RFPs and IFBs for local fresh produce and cafeteria food products with June–July 2026 response dates and emphasis on 400-mile sourcing and seasonal variety. Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) and Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center) each posted small-purchase RFQs for fresh produce with August response dates. Head Start of Greater Dallas and Madison Metropolitan School District have bid fresh produce for child-care and elementary-student snack programs with June–July 2026 deadlines and preference for local/regional sourcing. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food-service concessions at regional parks with March 2025 response date and local-vendor preference scoring. No incumbent vendors, set-asides, or estimated contract values are consistently named across opportunities; most emphasize cost, compliance, delivery reliability, and past performance.
