UNSPSC 50331704: Dried organic cavendish bananas

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

UNSPSC 50331704 Dried organic cavendish bananas (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. School districts and county purchasing offices represent the primary buyer base for dried fruit products when solicited, typically as part of broader grocery or fresh-produce contracts serving child nutrition programs; however, the code's nominal scope—dried organic cavendish bananas as a standalone item—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying right now. The recent opportunities record includes one explicit dried-fruit procurement (Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts in January 2026) and multiple school nutrition solicitations that encompass fresh produce, proteins, grains, and prepared foods but do not isolate dried bananas as a line item. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas are actively procuring food products for cafeteria and nutrition services under IFB and RFP structures, with Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural commodity content; Georgia's Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham Public Schools, and Douglas County Schools each issued separate RFPs or IFBs for produce, eggs, or full food-supply distribution in the first half of 2026, signaling sustained demand for commodity food procurement in school districts.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department (Milpitas facility) solicited dried fruits and nuts on an ITB basis due February 5, 2026, requiring five line items on an all-or-none basis including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes; this represents the most directly relevant recent activity under the code's scope, though even this procurement bundles dried fruits as one component of correctional food services rather than isolating dried bananas. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts), with secondary activity in California (county corrections), Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. The absence of dried-banana-specific line items in school nutrition solicitations—which routinely specify apple varieties, berries, citrus fruits, and other fresh or frozen produce by name—suggests limited standalone demand for this commodity at the state and local level or procurement patterns that combine dried fruits into broader grocery agreements.
