UNSPSC 50325908: Dried wonderful pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50325908 Dried wonderful pomegranates is a Commodity code that captures state and local purchasing of dried fruit products, though the recent opportunities block shows the code tagged to a narrow slice of that activity. School districts and correctional facilities are the primary buyers soliciting under related dried-fruit categories, procuring products such as dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, and other dried fruits as components of institutional food service contracts. The scope encompasses both bulk dried-fruit supply to large nutrition programs and smaller specialized procurements for detention facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs) and county correctional departments, with school nutrition driving the majority of visible activity. The code's application appears inconsistent—recent opportunities tagged to dried-fruit categories include fresh-produce contracts, comprehensive food-supply agreements, and broader grocery solicitations where dried fruits represent one line item among hundreds rather than the primary focus.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and California, with secondary presence in Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts serving its detention facility (due February 5, 2026), specifying dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with estimated annual spend for those five line items across five-year terms at firm pricing in Year 1 and capped annual increases thereafter. Multiple Georgia school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—issued IFBs and RFPs for annual food contracts (April through June 2026 response dates) that include dried fruits as components within 72 to 900+ line-item procurements, with delivery windows July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. None of the recent opportunities isolated dried pomegranates as a named line item; the code's recent activity consists primarily of dried-fruit and nut components within larger institutional food supply and school nutrition contracts.
