UNSPSC 50325902: Dried granada pomegranates

The variety of pomegranates known as granada pomegranates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325902 Dried granada pomegranates (Commodity) covers dried pomegranate products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for food service operations. However, recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically for dried pomegranates; the opportunities tagged to this code span much broader fresh and processed produce categories across school nutrition programs and correctional facility cafeterias rather than dried pomegranate procurement alone. Issuing bodies include county school districts, city boards of education, state education procurement offices, and correctional departments. The scope of work across tagged solicitations encompasses fresh produce delivery (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items), cafeteria food products (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and canned vegetables and fruits), and miscellaneous kitchen supplies, with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products and compliance with USDA grade standards.

Activity appears concentrated in the South, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple Texas locations, due May 4, 2026, and an earlier IFB for dried prunes, originally due February 18, 2026, amended to February 20, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also posted a bid for commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 26, 2026). Vendors responding to these opportunities must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, nutritional analyses, state health inspection records, proof of E-Verify authorization, and appropriate insurance coverage (typically $500,000 to $1 million commercial general liability). Contract terms typically run 12 months through June 30, 2027, with pricing firm fixed for the duration, FOB Destination freight prepaid, and payment within 30 to 45 days of receipt of properly invoiced goods.
