UNSPSC 50325905: Dried pat's red pomegranates

The variety of pomegranates known as pat's red pomegranates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325905 Dried pat's red pomegranates, Commodity, represents a narrow product line with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code is too specialized to support a meaningful characterization of buying patterns; state and local governments rarely solicit dried pomegranates as a standalone line item, and recent opportunities tagged under this code do not actually reflect pomegranate procurement.

The recent opportunities in the source are school nutrition and institutional food supply contracts—fresh produce for school districts, cafeteria commodities for state departments of education, and bulk food items for correctional facilities—but they do not include dried pomegranates. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) ran an IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus for the 2026–27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids for school nutrition center commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce with the same due date; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products covering proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and canned goods with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) did solicit whole pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 due date, but this is a prune solicitation, not pomegranate. The code shows little relevant recent activity and should be monitored for future opportunities rather than pursued based on current market signals.
