UNSPSC 50327019: Dried lychee

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

UNSPSC 50327019 Dried lychee (Commodity) appears rarely in state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried lychee; instead, the twelve posted opportunities span fresh produce, frozen foods, general grocery items, and dried fruits and nuts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. One solicitation—Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts at a county correctional facility, due February 5, 2026—names dried cranberries, dried raisins, and dried tropical fruit mix as line items but does not identify dried lychee. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the breadth of actual institutional food procurement suggests that dried lychee, if purchased at all by state and local buyers, is subsumed within broader dried-fruit or specialty-produce categories rather than solicited as a distinct commodity.

Issuing bodies active in the food-supply space include school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District) in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and California; city and county departments (Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department); state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division); and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia). Sealed-bid and RFP activity on fresh and frozen institutional foods dominates the block, with response windows clustered in February through June 2026. No evidence supports active procurement of dried lychee as a standalone commodity or sufficient market concentration to warrant pursuit strategy under this code at the present time.
