UNSPSC 50326900: Dried tamarillo

The type of fruit known as tamarillo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326900 Dried tamarillo is a Class code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the nominal commodity. The code's abstract definition addresses dried tamarillo, a specialty tropical fruit product, yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass broad food service procurement—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. The mismatch between the code label and actual buying patterns suggests that either tagging inconsistency in the source database or the code's practical use as a catch-all for specialty dried or processed fruit items has diluted its specificity. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit dried tamarillo as a line item or primary commodity.

State and local jurisdictions issuing food service RFPs and IFBs include school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), county and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, County of Santa Clara, State of Georgia), and specialized procurement authorities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, California, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026) covering 200-plus produce line items for school delivery; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026) encompassing roughly 382 food items across proteins, dairy, and staples for multiple warehouse locations; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the County of Santa Clara dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for a five-year contract supplying raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to a detention facility. All awards are typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a firm fixed-price basis with Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, and delivery guarantees of 24-hour emergency availability or scheduled weekly service.
