UNSPSC 50325602: Dried golden pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50325602 Dried golden pineapple is a Commodity code that encompasses dried and processed pineapple products purchased primarily by school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education, supplemented by departments of criminal justice and state nutrition procurement offices managing institutional cafeteria operations. The scope of work involves procurement of shelf-stable fruit products meeting USDA quality and domestic-content standards, typically as part of larger fresh and processed produce or food commodities contracts that serve student lunch programs and corrections facilities.

School districts in Georgia and Connecticut drove recent activity, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posting a commodities solicitation on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, both serving school nutrition centers. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple institutional food procurement solicitations including IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026) and Bid No. IW236532 for dried prunes (due February 20, 2026), indicating recurring demand from correctional facilities. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with responses due June 22, 2026. All school-related solicitations explicitly require compliance with the Buy American provision mandating a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and most award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value. Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and Texas, with institutional food service representing the primary market segment.
