UNSPSC 50407063: Udo

The type of vegetable known as udo

UNSPSC 50407063 Udo, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce and snack items that state and local governments procure for child nutrition, senior services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts, state departments, and Head Start agencies buying ready-to-eat or minimally processed fresh fruits and vegetables—including apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, and tomatoes—delivered weekly or as-needed to school cafeterias, senior centers, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies span school districts (ranging from small rural systems to large urban districts like Northside Independent School District in San Antonio and McAllen ISD), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia state procurement), county education boards, and nonprofit child care providers. Many solicitations emphasize local or regional sourcing within specified mile radii, USDA compliance and food safety certifications (HACCP, GAP), and organic or domestic-product preferences where budget allows.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, where multiple school systems, the state of Georgia, and TDCJ posted competing opportunities in the past four months. Recent representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, bids due July 29, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat, bid opening June 24, 2026), Bartow County School System in Georgia (RFP 10-2026-019, local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, fresh produce five days per week for 117 schools, proposals due May 7, 2026), and the Douglas County School System cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, 30 districts across two Georgia areas, approximately $5.5 million combined, proposals due March 4, 2026). Pricing models vary—some use firm fixed unit prices, others employ cost-plus-fixed-fee or USDA market-index-based structures—and insurance, delivery frequency (typically Monday–Friday within narrow morning windows), and traceability documentation are standard requirements across nearly all posted opportunities.
