UNSPSC 50335101: Dried organic green cooking papayas

The variety of organic papayas known as organic green cooking papayas that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335101 Dried organic green cooking papayas is a Commodity code with sparse recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single processed produce item—dried papayas suitable for culinary use—but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little or no direct alignment with the commodity's specific scope. The single recent record mentioning papayas (Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, an IFB with a June 26, 2026 response date) lists papayas among over 200 fresh produce line items for 2026-27 school nutrition, but describes fresh papayas for immediate consumption, not dried organic green cooking papayas. That solicitation spans fresh apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens—a broad fresh-produce aggregation typical of K-12 nutrition procurement—rather than the dried, organically certified, cooking-grade papayas this Commodity code designates.

The broader state and local opportunities in the source dataset show sustained demand for school nutrition fresh and frozen produce, eggs, and staple food items across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California through mid-2026, with school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies issuing IFBs and RFPs on quarterly cycles. However, no recent solicitation targets dried organic cooking papayas specifically or in dedicated line items. The misalignment between the code's narrow commodity scope and the generic produce aggregation in available records suggests this Commodity code sees limited independent procurement activity in state and local markets; vendors pursuing opportunities in school nutrition, correctional facility food service, or other institutional food procurement should evaluate higher-tier produce and food codes (Family or Class level) to capture the actual buying patterns.
