UNSPSC 50321705: Dried dominico bananas

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

UNSPSC 50321705 Dried dominico bananas is a Commodity code that does not appear in any of the recent state and local contract opportunities provided. The source contains eleven posted solicitations spanning January through June 2026 from school districts, a county sheriff's detention facility, and a state department of criminal justice, all seeking food products for institutional nutrition programs. None of the opportunities explicitly name dried dominico bananas or dried bananas of any variety as a line item or procurement category. The opportunities instead focus on fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus, root vegetables), proteins (chicken, beef, fish), dairy products, grains, and miscellaneous staple foods; one solicitation (Santa Clara County, ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) covers dried fruits and nuts but specifies raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans with no mention of bananas. While dried fruit procurement activity exists in state and local school nutrition and institutional food service, the specific commodity of dried dominico bananas does not surface in the recent opportunities documented here.

The absence of posted opportunities naming dried dominico bananas suggests either minimal current demand within state and local school districts and detention facilities, or a misclassification of this UNSPSC code against active institutional food procurement. School districts and public agencies are actively sourcing dried fruits (as shown in the Santa Clara opportunity) and fresh bananas appear frequently in fresh-produce RFPs across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas, but dried banana products are not mentioned. Prospectors evaluating this code should verify whether state procurement offices and school nutrition programs actually specify dried dominico bananas in current or recent cycles, or whether this commodity sits outside the active scope of institutional food service purchasing in the observed jurisdictions.
