UNSPSC 50321701: Dried apple bananas

The variety of bananas known as apple bananas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321701 Dried apple bananas, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity that directly aligns with this code's scope is the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to support the County's Office of the Sheriff, Department of Correction - Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, which includes dried cranberries, dried raisins, dried tropical fruit mix blend, walnuts, and pecans, with bids due February 5, 2026 on an all-or-none basis and a five-year contract term with firm Year 1 pricing. The broader landscape of recent opportunities tagged to this code shows primarily fresh produce and fresh grocery items solicited by school districts and corrections departments rather than dried fruit products specifically; examples include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items due June 26, 2026, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract for fresh grocery products due April 27, 2026. The mismatch between the code name (dried apple bananas) and the actual recent solicitations suggests this commodity operates in a narrow, specialized niche within state and local procurement.

School districts and county-based purchasing dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from corrections departments and county sheriffs' offices. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary procurement in Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, and Missouri. Beyond the Santa Clara dried fruits and nuts solicitation, meaningful procurement under this specific commodity code is not evident in the recent opportunities block. The code appears underutilized relative to fresh produce and general grocery procurement, which dominate school nutrition and institutional food service contracting. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor corrections department food service contracts and institutional nutrition programs in California and Georgia, where the most recent aligned opportunity appeared.
