UNSPSC 50407061: Tindora

The type of vegetable known as tindora

UNSPSC 50407061 Tindora is a Commodity code representing fresh root vegetables and tubers procured by state and local school districts, counties, and corrections agencies for institutional food service and child nutrition programs. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on the supply of fresh, minimally processed produce for direct delivery to schools, senior centers, and detention facilities, with contracts emphasizing USDA compliance, food safety certification, and adherence to Buy American provisions. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, including independent school districts and county boards of education in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Head Start organizations also use the code for bulk institutional purchasing. Recent solicitations show heavy weighting toward fresh produce supply contracts that bundle root vegetables, leafy greens, and other specialty items rather than tindora-specific procurement. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, where large school districts and state agencies have posted multiple opportunities for fresh produce supply from July through May contract cycles supporting the school year and institutional meal operations.

Representative recent activity includes Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin with 5,900 weekly servings and a $0.20 per pound organic preference, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for carrots (IW253079, posted June 23, 2026), sweet potatoes (IW253121, posted June 23, 2026), and white potatoes (IW253099, posted June 3, 2026), all due June 23, 2026, for bulk institutional canning operations. Bartow County Schools in Georgia (RFP 10-2026-019, posted May 21, 2026, due June 22, 2026) and Dougherty County Board of Education (sealed bid due June 16, 2026) solicited local fresh produce with strong geographic and seasonal sourcing preferences and 400-mile radius requirements. Multiple Georgia school districts and Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools posted Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program bids, while Northside ISD in Texas (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) and McAllen ISD (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026) sought year-round fresh produce supply contracts with five-day-per-week delivery to multiple campuses. Payment terms are typically Net 30, with firm pricing for contract duration and cost-plus-fixed-fee structures common in federal programs; most contracts run July through June to align with school fiscal years and include renewal options for one to four additional one-year terms.
