UNSPSC 50407048: Palm hearts

The type of vegetable known as palm hearts

UNSPSC 50407048 Palm hearts, a Commodity code, does not see recent state and local solicitation activity that directly matches its scope. The source contains seventeen recent opportunities spanning fresh produce procurement, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service across state and local bodies, yet none explicitly name palm hearts as a line item or primary commodity. State and local governments purchase produce under this code primarily through school districts, county school systems, state agencies, and special districts that manage child nutrition and institutional feeding programs, but the recent activity documented here centers on broader fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, onions, and potatoes—alongside eggs and prepared produce items in ready-to-eat or pre-cut forms. The issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce span Georgia school districts (Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Henry County, and Savannah-Chatham), Texas school districts and state agencies (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD, TDCJ, and the Texas Comptroller), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County), and scattered municipal and regional programs in other states.

Geographic spread shows concentrated activity in Georgia (eleven opportunities posted between February and June 2026) and Texas (seven opportunities in the same window), with isolated postings in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program's sealed-bid request (PE64710NONST2027000000078, due June 16, 2026) for forty fresh produce line items including apples, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, and strawberries for twenty-four school nutrition sites; the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 (posted May 21, 2026, due June 22) seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles for school feeding during 2026–2027; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for approximately seventy-two produce line items serving thirty school districts in two Georgia areas; and the Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 (due March 11, 2026) for fresh produce and a la carte beverages district-wide. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit palm hearts, suggesting the code either sees minimal institutional demand at state and local level or is misaligned with typical school and institutional purchasing patterns.
