UNSPSC 50407043: Mamey sapote

The type of vegetable known as mamey sapote

UNSPSC 50407043 Mamey sapote is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity tied directly to the code's narrow fruit designation. State and local procurement under this code actually covers broad fresh produce procurement for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, child care food programs, correctional facilities, and senior services — with mamey sapote rarely appearing as a line item in competitive solicitations. Recent opportunities solicited under this code or adjacent produce codes show that school districts and state agencies are buying comprehensive fresh produce assortments including apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and seasonal items in substantial weekly or annual quantities, often sourced regionally and delivered direct to multiple school or facility locations. Issuers include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside ISD, Austin ISD, SCCPSS, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County), state education or nutrition offices (Texas TDCJ, Georgia state procurements), state departments (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), county boards of education, and special authorities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of San Antonio Department of Human Services). Evaluation criteria typically weight cost heavily (30–50 points), followed by product quality, compliance with USDA Buy American and HACCP standards, delivery capability, and vendor reputation. Contracts run one fiscal or calendar year with renewal options.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Colorado, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, bids due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with a 5% preference for diverse-owned vendors and $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic produce); Northside ISD in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, fresh produce for child nutrition, proposals due May 7, 2026, five-day weekly delivery to 117 campuses, 35% weight on price in evaluation); Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019, local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026, contract July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple IFBs for bulk white potatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes for canning, bids due June 23, 2026 or March 2026, FOB destination pricing, up to three-month contract extensions at state discretion). The code shows consistent activity but mamey sapote as a named commodity does not appear in any recent solicitation; broader produce procurement dominates.
