UNSPSC 50192110: Nuts or dried fruits

UNSPSC 50192110 Nuts or dried fruits, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit and nut products purchased by school districts and corrections agencies for foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show schools and state prison systems buying specific dried fruits — whole pitted prunes, dried berries, and dried fruits as components of broader fresh and frozen produce contracts — alongside fresh produce, proteins, and dairy to supply student nutrition programs and inmate meals. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia Department of Education appear as repeat buyers. Scope varies from specialized single-item procurements (dried prunes to specific USDA grade and count standards) to broad multi-category food commodity contracts where nuts or dried fruits represent a portion of 100+ line items. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products apply consistently across school-based opportunities.
