UNSPSC 50407041: Maguey leaves

The type of vegetable known as maguey leaves

UNSPSC 50407041 Maguey leaves is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce and processed agricultural products sourced by state and local procurement offices, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code actually center on broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply — not maguey leaves specifically. The most active buying under this nominal code reflects institutional food service for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. State and local governments soliciting under this code range from Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice at the state level to county school boards and city departments in Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas HHS Commission appear as repeat buyers, with multiple concurrent solicitations for fresh produce delivery to institutional warehouses and facilities. Representative work includes the Texas HHS Commission's October 2026 IFB for consumables and food service supplies to Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and disposables with seven-day delivery required; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's September 2026 RFP for fresh fruit and vegetables to the Palestine facility (IW267376, due October 19, 2026); and the Illinois Department of Corrections' August 2026 RFQ for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), under a small-business set-aside with USDA-grade compliance and damage-replacement obligations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Texas dominates the recent sample through TDCJ warehousing operations at Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine, plus HHS state-supported living center contracts; Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) conduct produce procurement under state nutrition programs; and Illinois state facilities at Joliet and Hines pursue fresh-produce supply. Wisconsin's Madison Metropolitan School District bid fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for USDA program delivery (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin state lines with a 5 percent diverse-owned business preference. Florida's Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference). School nutrition programs across Georgia and other states routinely tag fresh-produce procurement under commodity codes; the recent opportunities show institutional buyers prioritizing local or regionally sourced produce, USDA compliance, temperature-controlled delivery, quality guarantees with damage replacement at vendor cost, and compliance with prevailing-wage and set-aside programs where applicable.
