UNSPSC 50326501: Dried white sapotes

The variety of sapotes known as white sapotes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326501 Dried white sapotes is a Commodity code covering specialty dried fruits procured by state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent activity shows this code is being solicited primarily as part of broader fresh and dried produce line-item purchases for school lunch programs and institutional cafeteria operations rather than as standalone dried-fruit contracts. The Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (SY27, due June 26, 2026) includes specialty fruit items such as kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit alongside conventional produce across over 200 line items; similarly, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's commodity bid (due June 26, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria-food procurement (due May 4, 2026) embed fruit and vegetable products within broader food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state procurement divisions (Georgia and Texas), and municipal departments of public purchases. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, provide HACCP plans or USDA compliance documentation, maintain commercial general liability insurance, and accept firm fixed pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with solicitations posted between mid-May and mid-June 2026. The Hancock County Schools nutrition bid (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covers delivery to three school locations in Sparta, Georgia through June 30, 2027; the Texas TDCJ cafeteria-food procurement (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) distributes across six TDCJ warehouse locations statewide. A second Texas solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026) from TDCJ demonstrates demand for specific dried-fruit items, though that opportunity has passed. The Bridgeport city procurement (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) serves a single nutrition center and applies MBE/CBE certifications under local ordinance. School nutrition programs and criminal-justice food services dominate the issuing-body mix, with contract periods typically running July through June or through August of the following year.
