UNSPSC 50321704: Dried cavendish bananas

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

UNSPSC 50321704 Dried cavendish bananas is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows minimal activity directly aligned with this specific dried fruit product line. The source contains twelve recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026, predominantly from school districts, counties, and state agencies across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California. However, only one opportunity—the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, posted January 28, 2026, with a February 5, 2026 deadline)—explicitly names dried fruit as a procurement category, and that solicitation focuses on dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans rather than dried cavendish bananas specifically.

The preponderance of activity under codes tagged 50321704 and related food procurement channels reflects institutional food service purchasing for schools and corrections facilities, where fresh produce, groceries, and bulk food items dominate. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all issued RFPs or IFBs for fresh produce, master grocery contracts, and food supply between March and June 2026, but none named dried cavendish bananas as a line item. The Santa Clara County detention facility procurement for dried fruits emphasizes dried raisins and cranberries, with no mention of cavendish bananas. State-level procurements in Georgia and Texas similarly show fresh and frozen food categories without reference to dried banana products. This code appears underutilized or misclassified for dried cavendish banana procurement at the state and local level; vendors specializing exclusively in this commodity should validate whether they are targeting the correct UNSPSC code or whether institutional buyers in this market classify dried cavendish bananas differently.
