UNSPSC 50325601: Dried cherimoya pineapple

The variety of pineapples known as cherimoya pineapple that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325601 Dried cherimoya pineapple is a Commodity code that describes specialty dried fruit products purchased by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying fresh and dried produce—including dried fruits—as part of broader food-supply contracts for cafeteria and nutrition centers. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) commodities IFB for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center both encompass multiple produce lines, though neither explicitly isolates dried cherimoya pineapple as a line item in the posted summaries. The State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued food-supply IFBs in May and June 2026 covering cafeteria products across multiple institutional locations. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport), state departments (Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and correctional agencies. Vendors responding to these opportunities must comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act), provide HACCP or USDA compliance documentation, maintain commercial general liability insurance, and meet specific delivery, packaging, and nutritional specifications.

Activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. Recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 through OpenGov Procurement; the State of Georgia (bids due June 22, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (bids due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2, with delivery to six distribution points across Texas). The Hancock County solicitation specifies delivery to three school sites in Sparta, Georgia, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. All recent opportunities require firm fixed pricing for the contract term, prepaid freight delivery to destination, and compliance with debarment verification, anti-collusion affidavits, and E-Verify authorization. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or to multiple vendors at the issuing body's discretion.
