UNSPSC 50331701: Dried organic apple bananas

The variety of organic bananas known as organic apple bananas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331701 Dried organic apple bananas, a Commodity code, encompasses dried and specialty fruit products that state and local school districts and public institutions procure as part of broad nutrition and food-service commodity purchases. Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies buying fresh and dried produce, frozen specialty items, proteins, and pantry staples under blanket food-supply contracts rather than isolated dried-fruit line items. The Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits, and the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 commodity bid covering eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit products illustrate the typical scope — vendors supply school nutrition centers with diversified commodity baskets, often including dried or processed fruit components, rather than single-commodity contracts. School districts and state corrections and food-service departments are the principal issuing bodies, with contracts running through the fiscal year or across multiple years with optional renewals.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued its fresh-produce IFB on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027, under the Buy American provision mandating 51 percent domestic content in processed items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted its commodity bid on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center with firm-fixed pricing through June 30, 2027 and optional extension, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia posted a May 15, 2026 food-supplies IFB due June 22, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued cafeteria-food IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items across five warehouse areas with awards to single vendors per line item through August 31, 2027. A prior TDCJ bid (IW236532) for whole, pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count, was issued April 23, 2026, with a 1,400-box minimum order to the Corpus location.
