UNSPSC 50407044: Moap

The type of vegetable known as moap

UNSPSC 50407044 Moap, a Commodity code, covers ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable snacks procured by state and local school districts, child care agencies, and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for pre-cut, pre-packaged, refrigerated produce in portion-controlled serving sizes—including items such as fruit cups, vegetable trays, and fresh-cut produce packed in sealed containers for immediate distribution to students and program participants. The work spans sourcing, washing, cutting, packaging, and temperature-controlled delivery of produce that meets USDA food safety standards, including HACCP certification and traceability documentation by farm of origin.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school) soliciting under the code, alongside Head Start programs and correctional institutions. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. The Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted an RFB on July 8, 2026, for approximately 5,900 servings weekly of fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), emphasizing local sourcing within 400 miles and offering a 5% diverse-owned business preference; the contract runs September 1 through November 30, 2026, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval. Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited an IFB for three tiers of fresh produce suppliers across frozen foods, produce, and meat (posted June 24, 2026; estimated value $969,460.94) to serve children ages six weeks to five years under the Child and Adult Care Food Program, with a one-year term and up to four optional renewals. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple IFBs for bulk vegetables (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes) in June and early July 2026, targeting institutional food service with bids due June 23, 2026. Several Georgia school districts—including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Glynn County—posted RFPs or IFBs for fresh produce supply during March through June 2026, typically requiring weekly or twice-weekly delivery to 12–60 school sites with contract terms July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and firm pricing for the initial period followed by six-month escalation reviews tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. Vendors face insurance requirements (typically $500,000 to $2 million general liability), Buy American compliance, debarment certification, and E-Verify verification. Activity remains strong and ongoing across the code.
