UNSPSC 50327030: Dried roselle

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

UNSPSC 50327030 Dried roselle, a Commodity code, does not match the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for dried roselle; instead, school districts and correctional facilities are bidding food supply and fresh produce contracts that span hundreds of line items encompassing proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually posted signals that the code either receives minimal relevant activity or is misapplied by issuing bodies tagging broad food-service procurements.

The limited relevant recent activity consists primarily of school nutrition program food-service contracts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California, where school districts and county boards of education issue IFBs and RFPs for annual grocery and fresh-produce supply under term agreements running July 1 through June 30. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, IFB due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 fresh produce line items; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12, IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum 76 items across school and warehouse delivery; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-003 Food Supply and Distribution Services, due February 18, 2026, for approximately $9 million annual spend across 32 schools. One outlier—Santa Clara County, California ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 Dried Fruits and Nuts, due February 5, 2026—aligns more closely with the code's name, specifying dried raisins, cranberries, walnuts, and pecans for correctional-facility food services. Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms appear consistently across postings. The code's sparse and poorly aligned recent activity suggests limited procurement opportunity or systematic misclassification by issuing bodies.
