UNSPSC 50327021: Dried medlars

The type of fruit known as medlars that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327021 Dried medlars (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a single dried fruit product, but the five most recent state-and-local opportunities posted between April and June 2026 under or near this code solicited fresh produce, school lunch commodities, and other cafeteria food products—not dried medlars. The Georgia State solicitation references an attached document but does not disclose line-item scope in the summary. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice did issue one dried-fruit solicitation (IFB No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count, 25-pound boxes, minimum 1,400 boxes to the Corpus location, due February 20, 2026), but this represents a narrow exception and the code shows little recent relevant volume. State and local agencies posting food-supply opportunities have not used this code consistently to describe the work actually being bought.

Issuing bodies active in the broader food-procurement space include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), municipalities (City of Bridgeport), state departments (State of Georgia), and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Hancock County Schools posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items) due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year. Bridgeport Board of Education issued IFB BNB053266 for 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit-and-vegetable products due June 26, 2026, for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. Neither agency specifically solicited medlars, dried or fresh. The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement and is worth skipping unless you carry a vendor relationship in dried medlar supply or plan to monitor the category for future Georgia State opportunities.
