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

UNSPSC 50325610 Dried variegated pineapple is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure processed fruit products for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facility dining operations. The recent solicitations show school districts and state procurement agencies buying dried, variegated pineapple as part of broader fresh and processed produce line items within consolidated food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state education and correction agencies (Georgia and Texas), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of school nutrition centers. The work involves sealed-bid procurement of produce and food commodities with firm, fixed pricing over multi-year terms; contracts typically run July through June or calendar-year cycles and require vendors to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), USDA grade specifications, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple designated school or institutional sites.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce including multiple specialty items across over 200 line items for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027.
