UNSPSC 50327019: Dried lychee

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

UNSPSC 50327019 Dried lychee, a Commodity code, sees limited direct recent activity in state and local procurement; the opportunities tagged under this code in the past four months do not align with dried lychee procurement. School districts and correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies soliciting fresh and processed produce, but the recent opportunities cover broad fresh produce baskets, commodity food mixes, and specific items like dried prunes rather than dried lychee specifically. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; and the State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) with details in an attached document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (response due May 4, 2026 following extension) and a separate bid for whole, pitted, dried prunes (due February 20, 2026) at a Corpus Christi location.

The code shows activity in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school nutrition programs and correctional food procurement as primary drivers. The Hancock County Schools and City of Bridgeport opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP plans with recall accessibility, and delivery to multiple sites on firm fixed pricing. However, none of the recent solicitations explicitly name dried lychee as a line item or category of interest; the opportunities tagged under this code reflect general fresh and dried produce procurement by corrections agencies and school districts rather than a specific market for dried lychee. A business development professional should verify whether dried lychee procurement is actually sourced through this code by state and local buyers or whether the code assignment reflects a data-classification anomaly rather than actual buying activity.
