UNSPSC 50333700: Dried organic guavas

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

UNSPSC 50333700 Dried organic guavas is a Class code encompassing dried fruit products procured primarily by school districts and state correctional agencies for food service operations. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying dried fruits as components of broader cafeteria and nutrition center supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce in the 2026–27 school year included specialty items such as dried guava-like products alongside fresh berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued multiple food procurement IFBs for cafeteria supply, including dried prunes as a distinct line item (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) with specifications for U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, and minimum orders of 1,400 boxes per delivery location. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix, with school districts and state agencies both seeking dried fruits to meet USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products). Vendors must comply with USDA grade certification requirements, HACCP plans where applicable, and firm fixed pricing with all transportation and handling included.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB in June 2026 for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school locations and a sealed bid opening June 29, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also solicited broad food commodities in June 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, requiring MBE/CBE certifications and compliance with Connecticut procurement rules. The State of Georgia requested bids on food supplies and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), with detailed scope and pricing in an attached document. TDCJ issued multiple cafeteria food product IFBs across five geographic areas in Texas, with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2), and a separate dried prunes solicitation. Contract terms typically run through June 30, 2027, with firm fixed pricing and payment within 30–45 days. Award is commonly made to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid or best value; most solicitations require proof of insurance, debarment verification, and USDA compliance documentation.
