UNSPSC 50333000: Dried organic dragonfruit

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

UNSPSC 50333000 Dried organic dragonfruit is a Class code that nominally covers dried dragonfruit products, but state and local governments are not currently procuring dried dragonfruit under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code instead request fresh produce, cafeteria commodities, and fresh prunes — products substantially outside the dried dragonfruit scope. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 deadline. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids on 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments with a May 4, 2026 response deadline. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) sought whole pitted dried prunes — the only item remotely aligned with the code's stated scope — but that opportunity carried a February 20, 2026 deadline that has passed.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state departments managing institutional food service. Hancock County Schools and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education dominate the recent activity, with the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice representing state-level procurement. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with activity centered on institutional cafeteria and food service supply. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried organic dragonfruit) and actual procurement (fresh produce, general commodities, and cafeteria staples) suggests this code assignment does not reflect genuine market demand for dried dragonfruit products under state and local contracting. Pursuing this code would require clarification from procurement offices on whether the classification accurately reflects their sourcing needs or represents a cataloging error.
