UNSPSC 50325900: Dried pomegranates

A thick-skinned several-celled reddish berry that is about the size of an orange and has many seeds with pulpy crimson arils of tart flavor that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325900 Dried pomegranates, a Class code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are overwhelmingly food service contracts for K-12 school districts, state corrections facilities, and county nutrition programs — spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees — with only one tangentially relevant solicitation (Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts ITB for correctional facility food services) touching dried fruit at all. The code name and recent buying patterns do not align; state and local buyers are using this classification to procure broad commodity grocery items and food service distribution, not specifically dried pomegranates.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, California, Texas, Missouri, and Connecticut school districts and correctional agencies from January through June 2026. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026 for 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty produce for school delivery; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut food commodities IFB (electronic submission via OpenGov) due June 26, 2026 for 115 food product line items to the school nutrition center; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 IFB (sealed bids due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76 items from school delivery section and firm fixed pricing F.O.B. destination; and Santa Clara County (California) Invitation to Bids for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans with five-year contract and local business preference. Most solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing with all transportation included, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations. If your firm supplies dried pomegranates or dried fruit more broadly to institutional food service channels, pursue the dried-fruit-specific opportunities; the broader grocery and produce buys under this code carry significant noise and require broad-line commodity capabilities.
