UNSPSC 50325906: Dried pinkhan pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50325906 Dried pinkhan pomegranates (Commodity) does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity. The code name specifies a single specialty dried fruit product, yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code overwhelmingly target broad food supply contracts—fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food services. The mismatch between the narrow commodity definition and the wide scope of actual buying suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code has been applied too broadly to multi-category food procurement efforts. The source records no recent solicitations for dried pinkhan pomegranates specifically. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and county correctional systems are the repeat issuing bodies, with Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Virginia accounting for the bulk of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce and specialty items under IFB (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing a Master Grocery K-12 term contract under IFB (due April 27, 2026), and Santa Clara County (California) requesting dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services under ITB (due February 5, 2026).

This code presents a tactical risk for business development. The taxonomy misalignment makes it unreliable for tracking true dried-fruit procurement. If your firm supplies specialty dried fruits, this UNSPSC code will not reliably surface applicable solicitations; you should instead monitor broader codes covering fresh or dried produce at the Family or Class tier, and manually review each posting to confirm scope match. The recent activity is substantial and recurring—school districts, state agencies, and correctional systems procure food continuously under firm fixed-price contracts spanning twelve months with renewal options—but direct your monitoring toward commodity-agnostic food supply RFPs and IFBs rather than relying on this specific code. Buy American provisions appear in nearly every solicitation reviewed (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed items), and school districts consistently require HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and commercial general liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range.
