UNSPSC 50405103: Naranjilla

The variety of nightshades known as naranjilla

UNSPSC 50405103 Naranjilla is a Commodity code that captures procurement of specialty produce items, though state and local governments rarely buy naranjilla specifically — instead, this code sits within broader fresh fruit and vegetable procurement activity that spans institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and specialized dietary operations. State and local solicitations under related produce categories show strong demand for fresh fruits and vegetables across multiple institutional contexts: correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior centers, and mental health facilities purchase fresh produce on recurring contracts, typically through IFB, RFP, or RFQ mechanisms with annual or multi-year terms. Issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice, health and human services, and corrections; county school districts; city departments of human services; and independent school districts, with repeat procurement activity concentrated among Texas state agencies (TDCJ, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and Georgia school systems.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas and Georgia. Texas agencies dominate the activity block with multiple TDCJ solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetables to correctional food warehouses at Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine (posted September–October 2026, due dates October 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for consumable foods and canteen groceries at Lufkin and Mexia State Supported Living Centers (August 2026, due dates August–October 2026); and a Texas Comptroller procurement for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions (extended to May 4, 2026). Georgia school systems posted fresh produce bids from Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bryan County Schools between May and June 2026. A Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (July 2026) required Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles. The Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health also solicited fresh produce and vegetables (August–September 2026). Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including produce procurement (October 2026, due March 2025). Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited grocery products including produce (June 2026). A City of San Antonio RFP for produce markets and senior services (May 2026) and a Marion Health Care Coalition produce bid (August 2026) round out the geographic spread. While naranjilla as a single SKU does not appear in any posted opportunity, the code reflects the commodity classification structure used for specialty and tropical produce that state and local institutional buyers occasionally source.
