UNSPSC 50327018: Dried jujube

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

UNSPSC 50327018 Dried jujube is a Commodity code that covers dried fruit products for school meal programs and institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies procuring a broad range of fresh and dried produce items alongside processed foods to supply cafeteria operations, nutrition centers, and institutional kitchens. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both posted IFBs in June 2026 for fresh produce contracts spanning over 200 and 115 line items respectively, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items; the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued solicitations for food and kitchen products in May and June 2026. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments managing nutrition programs, with occasional involvement of state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional customers like correctional facilities. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear consistently across school-based opportunities, and MBE/CBE certifications apply where municipal ordinances require them.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing including all packing and transportation; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products) delivered to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center, also through June 30, 2027. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce across five Texas warehouse areas through August 31, 2027 with optional one-year renewals. The TDCJ also issued Bid IW236532 for whole, pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60-70 count) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for a Corpus Christi location, with Amendment No. 1 revising the opening date to February 20, 2026.
