UNSPSC 50327017: Dried jambolan

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

UNSPSC 50327017 Dried jambolan (Commodity) describes a specialized dried fruit product that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The actual recent solicitation activity under this code shows school districts and state procurement agencies buying fresh and processed produce for cafeteria operations, though dried jambolan itself appears as a niche item within broader fresh and dried fruit categories that these jurisdictions source. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix — Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both posted produce solicitations in June 2026 — alongside state-level procurement: Georgia's Department of Food Supplies and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. These are institutional food service buyers operating under Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products) and requiring HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and nutritional compliance documentation.

Recent opportunities show dried and fresh fruit procurement concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Schools posted an IFB for fresh produce on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, melons, and specialty items (kiwis, mangos, papayas, starfruit) for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport's June 2, 2026 IFB for commodities (115 line items including fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026) requires delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-300CF (May 4, 2026 response deadline) for 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with deliveries to six TDCJ distribution points through August 31, 2027. A separate TDCJ solicitation (Bid No. IW236532, posted April 23, 2026) specifically targeted whole, pitted dried prunes in 60-70 count size for the Corpus location with minimum order of 1,400 boxes, though the official response deadline (February 20, 2026) had already passed at the time of posting, suggesting this record may reflect a rescheduled or amended solicitation. Dried jambolan does not appear by name in any of the recent postings; the code shows activity primarily under broader fruit and produce categories.
