UNSPSC 50327028: Dried rambutan

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

UNSPSC 50327028 Dried rambutan, a Commodity code, covers specialized dried fruit products supplied to state and local institutions, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent activity under this code shows minimal direct purchasing of dried rambutan itself; instead, state and local buyers use the broader dried fruit category to procure mixed dried fruit blends, dried cranberries, dried raisins, and similar shelf-stable products as components of institutional food service. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with additional activity from county corrections departments and state agencies. Representative solicitations show school nutrition programs in Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) issuing IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce and grocery items that span multiple dried and processed fruit line items, alongside county and state corrections departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) procuring dried fruits and nuts specifically for inmate meal service.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items including specialty items; Santa Clara County (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts with bids due February 5, 2026, requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with a five-year contract term; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American requirements and USDA compliance dominate contract terms; most school nutrition contracts enforce minimum domestic content thresholds (51 percent for processed products) and require HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and product recalls procedures. School district contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with firm pricing for the full period and frequent renewal options for additional years. Correctional facility procurements often specify stricter nutritional profiles (zero added sugars, calorie caps) and security requirements including vendor background checks and facility access restrictions.
