UNSPSC 50327010: Dried durian

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

UNSPSC 50327010 Dried durian is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct purchasing of dried durian itself. Instead, the code appears in procurement records where school districts, county departments, and correctional facilities are sourcing broad categories of dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce—categories that may include dried durian as one item among hundreds of line items in larger food-service contracts. The actual work being solicited under this code involves establishing supply relationships for school nutrition programs, correctional food services, and municipal food procurement, where dried fruits appear as components of broader grocery or produce portfolios rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county departments (Santa Clara County's Department of Correction), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting the scale of K-12 nutrition procurement nationally.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and California, with additional opportunities in Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce (IFB, due June 26, 2026), which sought fresh and dried fruits across 200 line items for delivery to three school locations; the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), which specified five line items including dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Department of Correction at an estimated annual volume of approximately 11,880 cases; and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), which covered 72 produce items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition and state corrections procurements, and most opportunities require firm pricing for the full contract period (typically July 1 through June 30 annually) with delivery to multiple school sites or distribution centers on tight weekly or twice-weekly schedules.
