UNSPSC 50325608: Dried smooth cayenne pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50325608 Dried smooth cayenne pineapple (Commodity) describes a single food product line that state and local governments buy primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state correctional facilities sourcing this item as part of broader fresh produce, dried fruit, and food commodity procurements. The work being solicited is straightforward supply of dried pineapple meeting USDA grade and packaging specifications, delivered to designated institutional locations on firm-fixed pricing with transportation included.

School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both issuing RFBs for multi-item produce and food commodity contracts that include dried or specialty fruit items. The State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appear in the recent activity, the latter procuring dried prunes and broader food commodities for correctional facilities. Geographic spread centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with at least two school districts issuing solicitations in the June 2026 window. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, covering over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027, under Buy American requirements of 51 percent domestic content for processed items. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities RFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, spanning 115 food and beverage line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also requiring 51 percent domestic content and MBE/CBE certification eligibility under local ordinance. Neither solicitation explicitly names dried cayenne pineapple as a line item in the available summary data; the code appears in the catalog taxonomy but does not show robust standalone procurement activity in the recent block.
