UNSPSC 50407025: Donqua

The type of vegetable known as donqua

UNSPSC 50407025 Donqua, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce and prepared food items supplied to institutional food service operations — including fresh fruits, vegetables, prepared entrees, and associated food service supplies — procured by state health and human services agencies, departments of criminal justice, school districts, and local government for cafeteria, canteen, and dining facility operations. State and local governments buy under this code to supply residential facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and regional parks with bulk produce, frozen foods, dairy products, and disposable serviceware on recurring contracts. The issuing-body mix spans Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple facility locations), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (institutional food warehouses), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health (residential and treatment facilities), school districts (Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin, Bartow County and Dougherty County in Georgia, Early County in Georgia, Bryan County in Georgia), county government (Collier County, Florida Parks and Recreation), and specialized procurement entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent solicitations name repeat buyers: Texas HHS has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and groceries at Lufkin, Mexia, and other state-supported living centers; Texas TDCJ has issued overlapping IFBs for fresh produce at multiple warehouse locations and correctional facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHS and TDCJ solicitations dominating the recent pipeline), followed by Georgia (school districts and county education boards), Illinois (state corrections and mental health facilities), Florida (county parks), and Wisconsin (school districts).
