UNSPSC 50321708: Dried lacatan bananas

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

UNSPSC 50321708 Dried lacatan bananas, a Commodity code, does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes thirteen recent opportunities across school districts, county systems, state departments, and correctional facilities, but none of them solicit dried lacatan bananas or dried bananas of any kind. The most recent dated opportunity (Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce, posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) encompasses over 200 fresh produce line items—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit—with no banana products, fresh or dried, listed. Similarly, other school nutrition and food-service solicitations in the record (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services, Liberty County School Nutrition Program, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System food supply contracts) specify fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods, but dried bananas do not appear in any scope.

The three commodity-specific opportunities in the source—Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts for the Sheriff's Office correctional facility (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice's prunes procurement (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026), and Georgia's broader food supplies solicitation (PE55080NONST2027000000013, due June 22, 2026)—focus on dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, pecans, and prunes. No issuer in the dataset is purchasing dried lacatan bananas. The code's Commodity tier designation and specific cultivar naming do not match the fresh produce and bulk food categories dominating current school nutrition and correctional food-service contracting.
