UNSPSC 50326905: Dried red beau tamarillo

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

UNSPSC 50326905 Dried red beau tamarillo, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty dried fruit items but shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that specific product. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broad fresh produce and food commodities procurement by school districts, municipalities, and criminal justice agencies—not dried tamarillo. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including berries, melons, citrus, and specialty items like kiwis and mangos for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the State of Georgia issued separate food commodities RFBs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) procured cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations and, in a separate line, specific dried fruit (whole pitted prunes) with defined grade and packaging specifications. These solicitations reveal that state and local governments use this UNSPSC code to tag a wide range of food procurement—from fresh produce to processed and dried items—rather than the narrow product category the code name suggests.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school nutrition programs and state criminal justice agencies as primary issuing bodies. Hancock County Schools issued its fresh produce RFB on June 10, 2026, with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring firm pricing through June 30, 2027, domestic content compliance under Buy American provisions, and delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 line items of food commodities (including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce) due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification requirements under City Ordinance 3.12.130 and contract term through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia issued a broad food, supplies, and kitchen products RFB due June 22, 2026. TDCJ's cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, after extension) covered approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas with firm fixed pricing and delivery to six Texas distribution points, while a separate TDCJ prune procurement (IFB IW236532) specified U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Corpus Christi location. The code shows minimal alignment with dried tamarillo specifically and should be monitored only if pursuing general food commodity contracts with school districts or state agencies.
