UNSPSC 50333703: Dried organic lucida guavas

The variety of organic guavas known as organic lucida guavas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333703 Dried organic lucida guavas, a Commodity code, maps poorly to state and local procurement activity; recent opportunities tagged under this code show no dried organic guavas actually being solicited. Instead, the code captures school nutrition programs and institutional food service buying fresh produce, frozen specialty entrees, dairy products, proteins, grains, and canned goods — a broad commodity foods basket that bears little relation to the nominal scope of dried organic guava fruits. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state institutional food programs (Georgia). The Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appears in school nutrition solicitations, and MBE/CBE certifications are applicable in Bridgeport under City Ordinance 3.12.130.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought bids for 115 line items of commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetable products) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, through an electronic submission portal. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ bid for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a 1,400-box minimum order for Delivery Area 1 was issued with a due date of February 20, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual commodity procurements signals that this code assignment may not reflect the intended purchasing activity.
