UNSPSC 50321711: Dried mysore bananas

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

UNSPSC 50321711 Dried mysore bananas (Commodity) covers dried banana products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and education boards to supply cafeteria and meal-service operations. State and local governments buy these items as part of broader fresh and dried fruit procurement for student meal programs and institutional food services, though recent solicitations show the code sees limited standalone activity—most dried fruit contracting occurs within larger commodity bundles that span proteins, vegetables, grains, and other staple foods rather than as line-item requests for dried bananas specifically.

School districts and state departments of corrections dominate the issuing-body mix. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, requiring deliveries to three school sites under a firm fixed-price contract through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 for cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items (including dried fruits and specialty items) for delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations, with pricing on FOB Destination terms and contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. Georgia and Texas show the strongest recent activity under related commodity codes; Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education) and other jurisdictions procure similar categories through broader food-service solicitations. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products apply across school nutrition contracts, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, health certifications, and proof of liability insurance.
