UNSPSC 50331713: Dried organic red bananas

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

UNSPSC 50331713 Dried organic red bananas (Commodity) does not generate meaningful state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunity record. The single school district opportunity that references dried fruit procurement—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts supporting a correctional facility—solicits raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, with no mention of dried bananas. The remaining recent opportunities across school districts, state criminal justice systems, and county education boards focus on fresh produce, full grocery supply contracts, and staple food items; dried organic red bananas do not appear as a line item or category in any of the posted solicitations. Recent activity instead concentrates on fresh apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Ambrosia, Honeycrisp), berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and protein sources, with Buy American domestic content requirements and USDA compliance mandates driving procurement specs. School districts and detention facilities emphasize volume fresh-produce agreements with weekly delivery cycles and nutritional labeling standards, not specialty dried fruit items.

The procurement ecosystem under this code shows school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer type—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—alongside state detention and correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and county sheriffs' departments (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic concentration appears in Georgia and across the Southeast, with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest. The code's nominal scope (dried organic red bananas) does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification number, signaling either mistagged opportunities or minimal market demand for this specific commodity. Pursuit would benefit from direct outreach to school nutrition directors and correctional food-service operations to establish whether dried bananas are used off-contract or sourced through broader grocery distributors rather than through standalone dried-fruit solicitations.
