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 that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers dried banana passion fruit, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this category do not reflect actual purchasing of dried banana passion fruit. Instead, the opportunities span broad fresh produce, grocery, and food service supply contracts for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and food service operations—categories that encompass fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods, but not the specialty dried tropical fruit item the code purports to describe. School districts represent the dominant issuing body across the recent opportunities, alongside corrections departments and one county sheriff's office food service operation. When fresh or dried produce appears in these solicitations, it typically forms part of a much larger mixed-grocery or fresh-produce portfolio rather than standing alone as a line item.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Douglas County Schools, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), with additional recent solicitations from Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), California (Santa Clara County), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, IFB, due June 26, 2026), which encompasses over 200 fresh produce line items but not dried banana passion fruit, and the County of Santa Clara's Dried Fruits and Nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), which solicited dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend for a corrections facility but again does not specify dried banana passion fruit. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities tagged to it suggests either miscoding by issuing agencies or that dried banana passion fruit does not materially drive current state and local procurement activity.
