UNSPSC 50327028: Dried rambutan

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

UNSPSC 50327028 Dried rambutan, a Commodity code, represents fresh and dried produce items that state and local governments purchase primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies buying fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce for cafeteria operations, with frozen and dried fruit components embedded in broader food-service contracts. While the code's nominal scope is dried rambutan, actual state and local solicitations under this UNSPSC tag encompass multi-category fresh produce baskets (apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, specialty fruits), frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and staple food items—indicating the code functions as a catch-all for diverse commodity food purchases rather than a narrow dried-fruit category. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division).

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites under firm pricing through June 30, 2027 with Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed products). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB for 115 commodity line items (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, produce) due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Net 45 payment terms through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across five geographic areas via IFB No. 304T-26-300CF (response extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, and staple vegetables with fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery to six Texas distribution points. A separate TDCJ IFB for whole dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026, minimum 1,400 boxes) specified U.S. Grade B quality. School nutrition and corrections procurement under this code typically enforces Buy American provisions, requires HACCP or USDA compliance, demands firm fixed pricing for annual terms, and awards to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value criteria.
