UNSPSC 50327017: Dried jambolan

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

UNSPSC 50327017 Dried jambolan (Commodity) describes fresh and dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, counties, and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local buying focuses on packaged dried fruits, fresh produce, and related food-service staples for cafeteria supply, not the jambolan fruit itself. The code's nominal scope and recent procurement activity diverge significantly: posted opportunities name dried cranberries, raisins, tropical fruit mixes, fresh apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and other produce categories, but none reference dried jambolan specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, appearing in the majority of recent solicitations (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), alongside county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff) and state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Department of Education). Contracts typically run annual cycles from July through June, with firm fixed pricing and Buy American compliance requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items.

Activity clusters heavily in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, state-level procurements) and extends to Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Texas (TDCJ), California (Santa Clara County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's commodities IFB for school nutrition center supply due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 sealed-bid contract due April 27, 2026; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans) for correctional facility food service due February 5, 2026. The code shows consistent procurement activity, but vendors pursuing opportunities under UNSPSC 50327017 should verify whether their dried-fruit product matches the specific items being solicited in individual RFPs, as the code's generic name does not reliably predict actual commodity requirements.
