UNSPSC 50407044: Moap

The type of vegetable known as moap

UNSPSC 50407044 Moap, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply of fresh produce—fruits, vegetables, and related food service items—to state and local institutional foodservice operations, including correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. The code captures consumable food products ranging from bulk commodity vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions) to processed or prepared items (french fries, hashbrown patties), fresh produce (apples, bananas, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers), frozen vegetables, and ancillary food service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, trays). State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of criminal justice, health and human services, corrections, and mental health; county school nutrition programs; school districts; and municipal and county government entities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerges as a repeat buyer, with multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses and institutional locations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission also appears frequently, soliciting consumables and groceries for state supported living centers.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Wisconsin. Texas accounts for the largest share of recent solicitations, driven by TDCJ procurement for correctional foodservice and HHSC procurement for state facilities. Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) represent significant recent activity in the education sector. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting consumables and prepared foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (response due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple food warehouses (IFB IW267376 for Palestine, IFB IW267420 for Snyder, IFB IW267411 for Wynne, all responses due October 14–19, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025), the Illinois Department of Corrections soliciting fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center under small business set-aside (response due September 3, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District seeking fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin under RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026, with a 5% diverse-owned business preference). Institutional foodservice remains the dominant use case, with school nutrition programs, state mental health and corrections facilities, and senior services driving baseline demand.
