UNSPSC 50331705: Dried organic dominico bananas

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

UNSPSC 50331705 Dried organic dominico bananas is a Commodity code that captures fresh and dried fruit procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show minimal direct activity for the specific commodity named. The code's nominal scope—dried organic bananas—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, which instead reflect broad fresh and processed food procurement across multiple product categories. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity also present from county corrections facilities, state departments, and regional school cooperatives. Procurement spans full-service food supply contracts (entrees, proteins, grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and staple items), fresh produce-only arrangements (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus, root vegetables), dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans), and specialty items. Most school district contracts run annual cycles aligned to the academic year (July 1 through June 30), include Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and are solicited as IFBs or RFPs with sealed bids. Issuing bodies reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis, and prices typically remain firm for the contract period with limited provisions for major market adjustments.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school districts representing the largest share of recent activity. Representative current solicitations include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a due date of June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requesting commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with responses due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) seeking over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026; and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting over 400 food items with sealed bids due April 29, 2026. The County of Santa Clara (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to support the Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services with bids due February 5, 2026. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2). The code shows no recent activity specific to dried organic dominico bananas as a standalone commodity.
