UNSPSC 50335104: Dried organic mountain papayas

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

UNSPSC 50335104 Dried organic mountain papayas is a Commodity code representing a specialized dried fruit product, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show activity concentrated in fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs rather than dried papayas specifically. School districts and state departments are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing produce through competitive IFB and bid processes with firm pricing over multi-year school-year or annual contract terms. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) are standard across these solicitations. Scope includes fresh produce lines such as apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and specialty items including papayas, mangos, and kiwis delivered to school nutrition centers and cafeterias with HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and comprehensive compliance documentation required from vendors.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items with response due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products (IFB BNB053266) with electronic submission required by June 26, 2026, to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia issued a May 15, 2026 IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with response due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026; this solicitation covered 382 line items including fresh and canned vegetables and fruits. Code shows little evidence of dried papaya procurement specifically; the papayas named in the Hancock County and Bridgeport solicitations appear as specialty fresh items within broader fresh-produce buys rather than dried products.
