UNSPSC 50325201: Dried banana passion fruit

The variety of passion fruit known as banana passion fruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325201 Dried banana passion fruit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialty dried fruits and related dried produce items for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition centers buying dried fruits and other preserved produce as components of broader institutional food supply contracts, often bundled alongside fresh produce, frozen items, and other cafeteria staples. The scope of work extends beyond the narrowly specific code name — vendors responding to opportunities tagged under this code typically supply multiple commodity lines rather than dried banana passion fruit exclusively. School nutrition programs account for a substantial share of recent activity, with districts and state education departments issuing IFBs for annual produce contracts that enumerate dozens of fresh and processed fruit and vegetable SKUs under single solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply multiple TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with prices firm through August 31, 2027 and delivery FOB Destination to six Texas distribution points. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with responses due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty fruits delivered to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products under electronic IFB BNB053266 with a June 26, 2026 deadline, supplying the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with contract performance through June 30, 2027. All three solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products and impose firm pricing for the contract term.
