UNSPSC 50321715: Dried sucrier bananas

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

UNSPSC 50321715 Dried sucrier bananas is a Commodity code that nominally addresses dried banana products, but the recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal activity directly matching the commodity's scope. State and local governments are actively procuring fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service supplies for K-12 schools, corrections facilities, and other institutional nutrition programs, but the posted opportunities emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and mixed food categories rather than dried banana products specifically. Of the twelve recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, only one—Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617)—addresses dried fruit at all, and that solicitation covers raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix, not bananas. The remaining opportunities are school district grocery, fresh produce, and cafeteria food product contracts that do not isolate dried bananas as a line item or focus area. This suggests either broad taxonomy tagging that captures food procurement generally or a mismatch between the commodity code assignment and actual procurement content.

The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts and boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, and Fairfax County Public Schools), with one state purchasing entity (Georgia), one state correctional system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), one city (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and one county correctional facility (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, with additional recent solicitations in Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and California. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76-item commitments from school delivery sections; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district GEC Buying Cooperative serving two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried banana supply specifically.
