UNSPSC 50335100: Dried organic papayas

Succulent yellow fruit of a large plant (carica papaya) of the family caricaceae that is considered a tree, though its palmlike trunk, up to 8 m (26 feet) tall, is not as woody as the designation generally implies. Also called papaw or pawpaw that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335100 Dried organic papayas is a Class code with little recent activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block shows one school district (Hancock County Schools, Georgia) that itemized papayas among over 200 fresh produce line items in a broader IFB for produce supply, but the papayas were listed as a specialty item within a general fresh-produce solicitation rather than as a standalone dried-organic product. The remaining opportunities in the block — school nutrition solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Santa Clara County (California), plus broader food-supply contracts for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia — address fresh produce, bulk grocery items, dried fruits and nuts in commodity quantities, or full-line food distribution, but do not specifically target dried organic papayas as a distinct procurement category. School districts and state corrections systems dominate the issuing bodies, driven by child nutrition and institutional food service demand. The code shows no standalone dried-organic-papaya opportunities in the recent record and no clear concentration of purchasing activity in any single jurisdiction or region. Dried organic papayas, as a specialty ingredient rather than a high-volume commodity, do not appear to be a material state and local procurement category at this time based on the available opportunities.
