UNSPSC 50325605: Dried natal queen pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50325605 Dried natal queen pineapple, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — specialty dried pineapple varieties — does not align with the recent opportunities actually posted under it. The most substantial recent solicitations capture fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and canned goods for school nutrition and correctional-facility food service, none of which match dried pineapple procurement. School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and processed foods rather than specialty dried tropical fruits. The scope of work under these opportunities spans everything from bulk apple and berry deliveries to frozen entrees and condiments, all subject to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed items and firm pricing locked for contract periods running one to two years.

The recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce for school nutrition across three delivery sites; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a similar IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, and produce for its nutrition center; the State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products on May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21), covering proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and staples across five warehouse regions. A separate TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IFB 236532), posted April 23, 2026, represents the closest match to specialty dried fruit but was due February 20, 2026—well past closing. The code shows little relevant current activity for dried pineapple suppliers.
