UNSPSC 50325206: Dried maypops passion fruit

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

UNSPSC 50325206 Dried maypops passion fruit (Commodity) covers fresh and dried specialty fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show active procurement of fresh produce for school cafeteria operations, with dried fruit items appearing as line items within broader food commodity buys for institutional kitchens. School districts and state departments of education dominate the issuing-body mix, complemented by corrections departments and state food service procurement offices. The work involves sourcing produce and specialty food items against Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), managing HACCP and food safety compliance, arranging delivery to multiple institutional sites, and maintaining firm pricing through annual contract terms.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation from Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites and response due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic submission through OpenGov with the same June 26, 2026 deadline. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across 382 line items including fresh and canned fruits for distribution to multiple TDCJ facilities across five geographic areas; the original April 21, 2026 response deadline was extended to May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes with 1,400-box minimum order to the Corpus location closed February 20, 2026. School lunch programs represent the largest procurement volume; institutional food service contracts with corrections systems offer supplementary opportunity.
