UNSPSC 50326903: Dried goldmine tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as goldmine tamarillo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326903 Dried goldmine tamarillo is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code cover fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service — fresh apples, berries, vegetables, and melons for school cafeterias, not dried tamarillo. The issuing bodies are school districts, municipal boards of education, state departments, and correctional agencies sourcing food commodities for student meals and institutional dining. School nutrition programs dominate the visible activity, with districts and boards of education conducting sealed-bid IFBs for multi-item fresh and frozen produce, proteins, and staple foods. State agencies and departments of criminal justice also solicit food commodities, though the Commodity code appears misaligned with the actual goods being procured.

Recent solicitations span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and melons) with responses due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) requested bids for 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products via the OpenGov Procurement Portal with the same June 26, 2026 deadline and contract term through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and vegetables) across five geographic warehouse areas in Texas with firm pricing and delivery FOB Destination to six TDCJ distribution points through August 31, 2027.
