UNSPSC 50327016: Dried jackfruit

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

UNSPSC 50327016 Dried jackfruit is a Commodity code covering dehydrated jackfruit and related processed fruit products purchased by state and local governments, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show limited direct alignment with the nominal commodity. School districts dominate the issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both seeking fresh and processed produce for cafeteria supply. The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases and the State of Georgia have also posted broader food-supply solicitations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears twice in the recent opportunities, though one posting concerns dried prunes—a similar dried-fruit category—and the other a mixed food-supply contract. The scope of work in school-nutrition RFQs and IFBs spans fresh produce, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and miscellaneous kitchen supplies, with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. HACCP certification, E-Verify authorization, and state health-inspection documentation are standard requirements.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast and South, with the two most visible school-district opportunities from Georgia (Hancock County, due June 26, 2026) and Connecticut (Bridgeport, due June 26, 2026), and mixed-commodity procurement from the State of Georgia (due June 22, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products, extended to May 4, 2026). However, the code's recent-opportunities block shows a mismatch between the nominal commodity—dried jackfruit—and the actual goods being solicited, which focus on fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and bulk staple foods. The dried-prunes posting (TDCJ, Bid IW236512, due February 20, 2026) is closer in product category but falls outside the jackfruit commodity. School-nutrition contracts under RFQ and IFB notice types with sealed-bid or electronic-submission processes dominate the visible activity, and meal-contract extensions through June 30, 2027, are typical.
