UNSPSC 50323002: Dried yellow dragonfruit

The variety of dragonfruit known as yellow dragonfruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323002 Dried yellow dragonfruit is a Commodity code representing specialty dried fruits procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments do not routinely solicit dried yellow dragonfruit under this code; instead, the opportunities tagged here span broad fresh and processed food procurement for institutional cafeterias and nutrition centers. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) each issued IFBs in June 2026 for fresh produce contracts covering over 200 and 115 line items respectively, encompassing apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruits, melons, and leafy greens—commodity categories that substantially diverge from the nominal scope of dried yellow dragonfruit. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple IFBs for cafeteria food products and specialty dried items such as whole pitted prunes, but dried yellow dragonfruit does not appear as a line item in the available documentation. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies, driven by Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, though fresh produce procurement remains unaffected.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most recent solicitations posted between May and June 2026. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 (response due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to three school locations across the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 (response due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products delivered to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF (extended response due May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 food line items across proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and vegetables delivered to six TDCJ distribution points across the state. The State of Georgia solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 (due June 22, 2026) for food supplies and kitchen products references an attached document with full scope details. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried yellow dragonfruit; the tagging mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing offices or a minimal market for this specialty item within state and local institutional procurement.
