UNSPSC 50325903: Dried jolly red pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50325903 Dried jolly red pomegranates, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty dried pomegranates—does not align with the work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code are predominantly school nutrition contracts for broad-based fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts, and food service distribution—categories far broader than pomegranates alone and covering everyday staples rather than specialty items. School districts, county boards of education, and state departments dominating the tag reflect the standard structure of K-12 nutrition procurement, but none of the solicitations name pomegranates or focus on specialty dried fruit as a primary line item or category.

The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Georgia, Texas), and county corrections (Santa Clara County, California; Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary representation in Texas, California, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce contract (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), spanning over 200 fresh produce line items with no pomegranate specification; the Santa Clara County Dried Fruits and Nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), limited to raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans; and the Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026), estimated at approximately $9 million annually. The mismatch between code definition and solicitation scope suggests this code does not reliably capture actual pomegranate purchasing or that pomegranates, if procured by state and local bodies at all, are tagged under broader produce or commodity codes.
