UNSPSC 50325105: Dried solo papayas

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

UNSPSC 50325105 Dried solo papayas is a Commodity code covering specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. The recent opportunities show that papayas appear as line items within broader fresh and processed produce solicitations rather than as standalone purchases, bundled with dozens of other fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items to support cafeteria operations. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with procurement offices coordinating nutrition center operations across multiple delivery sites. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and USDA compliance certifications are standard requirements; vendors must also provide HACCP plans, nutritional analyses, health inspection records, and product liability insurance.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce including papayas for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities RFQ on June 2, 2026, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with contract term through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia posted a food and kitchen products IFB on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 for dried prunes (a related commodity) with a February 20, 2026 due date and minimum order of 1,400 boxes, and a separate TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB covering approximately 382 line items with response due May 4, 2026. The code shows limited standalone activity; dried papayas surface only as components within multi-item food service contracts rather than as dedicated procurement vehicles.
