UNSPSC 50325202: Dried blue passion flower

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

UNSPSC 50325202 Dried blue passion flower is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit and specialty produce items for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show significantly broader scope than the code's nominal category name suggests. Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, have both posted IFBs for fresh produce and commodity foods spanning over 200 line items each—fresh berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty fruits alongside proteins, dairy, and pantry staples—for school nutrition programs under the 2026-27 contract year. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued parallel IFBs for cafeteria food products and dried prunes for institutional feeding across multiple warehouse and facility locations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state corrections or food-service agencies, with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items) standard across solicitations. MBE and CBE certifications apply where noted, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, nutritional analyses, and commercial general liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $1 million.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued its fresh produce IFB with a June 26, 2026 response date and July 1, 2026 contract start; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted its commodities IFB on the same June 26 deadline; the State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen supplies solicitation with a June 22, 2026 due date; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple food procurement IFBs including a 382-line-item cafeteria food products bid with a May 4, 2026 response date and a dried prunes bid (IW236532) with a February 20, 2026 opening. Delivery is required to designated institutional locations (schools, correctional facilities, distribution centers), with firm pricing for the full contract term, FOB destination freight prepaid, and payment within 30–45 days of receipt and inspection. Awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, often to single or multiple vendors per line item based on best value.
