UNSPSC 50327010: Dried durian

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

UNSPSC 50327010 Dried durian (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, though recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation for dried durian specifically. School districts and state departments issuing under this code purchase dried fruit and specialty produce items as components of broader commodity or fresh-produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), State of Georgia, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice all solicit food and produce items for institutional feeding programs, but the Commodity code targets a specific dried-fruit product that appears rarely as a standalone procurement vehicle in state and local contracts. When dried fruit procurement does occur, it typically falls within larger food-service contracts that encompass multiple produce categories, frozen entrees, dairy, and staple items bundled together for efficiency and consolidated delivery.

Recent activity shows school nutrition programs in Georgia and Connecticut dominating visible procurement, with Hancock County Schools issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, and Bridgeport Board of Education seeking commodities including fruit and vegetable products through City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases on the same date. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food-service contracts including cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF) and dried prunes (Bid IW236532), indicating that institutional correctional facilities purchase dried fruits for inmate meals. The geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings, though the absence of dried durian as a named line item in any of these contracts suggests the Commodity code sees limited practical procurement activity in state and local food-service operations. No specific solicitation explicitly requested dried durian within the date range provided.
