UNSPSC 50407059: Tepeguaje

The type of vegetable known as tepeguaje

UNSPSC 50407059 Tepeguaje is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and processed produce, food service supplies, and ancillary food items for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, apples, bananas, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and berries), prepared or frozen food components (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, frozen entrees), dairy products, grains, condiments, and disposable food service supplies (containers, lids, napkins, trays, straws, foil sheets). The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county school districts and school nutrition programs (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Madison Metropolitan), county and city agencies (Collier County Parks and Recreation, City of San Antonio Senior Services), and specialized procurement vehicles (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and TDCJ—appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary procurement in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumables and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple warehouse locations (Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine facilities) via RFQ through September and October 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026, for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025; the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting quotes on August 27, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, under a small business set-aside); Madison Metropolitan School District issuing RFB 4163 on July 8, 2026, for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with locational sourcing requirements within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison, bids due July 29, 2026; and multiple Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) posting sealed bid and RFP solicitations between May and June 2026 for fresh produce supplies during the 2026-2027 school year. Cooperative purchasing and multi-vendor awards appear in several school nutrition procurements, and local-vendor preferences are common in school district and regional park operations.
