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, based on recent state and local solicitations, captures fresh and processed produce procured by school districts and state correctional facilities to supply cafeteria and nutrition operations. The code's recent activity, however, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual purchasing: the two most detailed opportunities (Hancock County Schools and City of Bridgeport) are IFBs for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus—not dried pomegranates specifically—while a third opportunity from Texas TDCJ addresses cafeteria food products broadly, and a fourth from TDCJ lists dried prunes as a single-item commodity. School districts dominate the issuing bodies in the recent record, with Hancock County Schools and the Bridgeport Board of Education both soliciting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year; state departments and correctional facilities (Georgia and Texas TDCJ) round out the mix. All opportunities enforce the Buy American Provision, requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products, and impose HACCP planning, E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification on bidders.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut in the school-nutrition space, with Texas showing correction-facility procurement for both fresh and processed items. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, seeking over 200 line items of fresh produce for three school delivery locations under a firm-price contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items of commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce) for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center; MBE/CBE certifications apply. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21 via Addendum No. 2) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce across five geographic areas in Texas, with award to single vendors per line item and a contract term extending through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The code shows little activity tied specifically to dried pomegranates; pursue only if targeting produce vendors with capacity across multiple categories.
