UNSPSC 50325105: Dried solo papayas

The variety of papayas known as solo papayas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325105 Dried solo papayas, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried papayas as a standalone line item; papayas appear only as one among dozens of fresh or specialty produce items bundled into larger fresh-produce or grocery-commodity contracts issued by school districts and corrections departments. The code does not align with the purchasing patterns reflected in the recent opportunities, which emphasize fresh or frozen produce, prepared foods, and broad commodity categories rather than dried fruit specialties.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Texas dominate the food-service procurement activity shown in the recent opportunities, along with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County corrections. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce with papayas listed as one specialty item among 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) soliciting commodities including produce through an electronic portal due June 26, 2026; Liberty County Schools (Georgia) requesting food products via IFB due April 29, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) issuing an ITB for dried fruits and nuts—raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—due February 5, 2026. The opportunities reflect demand across the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Missouri) and scattered coastal and mid-Atlantic jurisdictions, but none isolate dried papayas as a distinct procurement line. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that dried papaya purchasing, if it occurs in the state and local market, is embedded in larger fresh or specialty produce contracts, not contracted separately.
