UNSPSC 50326904: Dried oratia red tamarillo

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

UNSPSC 50326904 Dried oratia red tamarillo is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's stated scope. The recent opportunities in the source block are dominated by broad-based food service solicitations from school districts, state departments, county systems, and correctional facilities — all purchasing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for large institutional feeding programs, but none specifically targeting dried tamarillo or other dried tropical specialty fruits as a line item. The one dried-fruit procurement present (Santa Clara County's Dried Fruits and Nuts ITB) covers raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix blend, walnuts, and pecans — a formulation that does not isolate or emphasize tamarillo. State and local buyers in this segment focus instead on high-volume commodity staples and produce varieties with broad institutional adoption and supply-chain maturity: apples, bananas, berries, frozen entrees, eggs, and prepackaged items that move through established wholesale channels and meet USDA/nutritional compliance at scale.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities are primarily school districts (Hancock County, Fairfax County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, and Rockwood in Missouri), along with state departments (Georgia, Texas), a city board of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), a county correctional system (Santa Clara, California), and state criminal justice agencies (Texas TDCJ). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for Fresh Produce SY27 (response due June 26, 2026) and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (response due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas). No current or forward solicitation activity in the block identifies dried tamarillo as a procurement target, and the code warrants low pursuit priority absent a specific end-user mandate or menu innovation driver in an institutional nutrition program.
