UNSPSC 50407045: Moo

The type of vegetable known as moo

UNSPSC 50407045 Moo is a Commodity-tier code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce — fruits, vegetables, and prepared food items — for institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior programs, and other public entities. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of standalone produce contracts (fresh fruits and vegetables for weekly or bi-weekly delivery) and broader food-service procurements that bundle produce with proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and serviceware. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county school systems (Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), independent school districts, county governments (Collier County, Florida), Head Start agencies, and specialized service providers (Marion Health Care Coalition, Madden Mental Health Center). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple fresh produce and vegetable solicitations for food warehouse distribution across its prison system; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission similarly recurs for state-supported living center food service.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response date) for consumable foods and supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple produce solicitations (IW267376 for fresh fruits and vegetables to Palestine, IW267420 and IW267411 for warehouse supply to Snyder and Wynne locations, all with October 14, 2026 responses); the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (September 3, 2026) for bi-weekly fresh-produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside, specifying USDA-grade produce with traceability and prevailing-wage compliance; Collier County's ITN 258360 (March 6, 2025, likely a data error) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with 10-point local-vendor preference; and multiple Georgia school-district bids for fresh produce (Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County) with 400-mile local-sourcing preferences and June–July 2026 response dates. Pricing structures typically specify F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, firm unit pricing on standardized line items, and delivery windows aligned to institutional operating hours. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer: small-business set-asides in Illinois, local-vendor preferences in Georgia school systems and Florida, diverse-owned-business scoring in some municipal and school procurements, and prevailing-wage compliance in Illinois.
