UNSPSC 50325607: Dried red spanish pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50325607 Dried red spanish pineapple is a Commodity code covering fresh and processed fruit products purchased by school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy this code as part of broader fresh produce and food-supply contracts serving school cafeterias, criminal justice facilities, and public nutrition centers. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual school boards and centralized education nutrition programs soliciting produce under IFB and RFP notices; state procurement offices and city education departments also appear as regular buyers. Contracts typically bundle dozens or hundreds of line items spanning multiple produce categories (apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits including pineapples) rather than isolating single items, with delivery required to multiple school sites or institutional distribution centers over annual contract periods. Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via IFB with electronic submission due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications available under city ordinance. The State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies solicitation (IFB, due June 22, 2026) without itemized scope visible in the posted notice. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued two separate food procurements: a comprehensive cafeteria-food-products IFB (304T26300CF, response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covering approximately 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, and a single-item dried-prunes solicitation (IW236532, amended to close February 20, 2026) representing a narrower fresh/dried-fruit buy. School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate this code's recent activity; standalone fresh-pineapple or single-produce-item opportunities are uncommon.
