UNSPSC 50335105: Dried organic solo papayas

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

UNSPSC 50335105 Dried organic solo papayas, a Commodity code, covers fresh and processed produce items that state and local governments source for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. While the code's nominal scope references dried papaya specifically, recent solicitations under this taxonomy show school districts and state agencies buying broad fresh produce assortments that include papayas alongside dozens of other fruits and vegetables. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and specialty items including papayas—for the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) and the State of Georgia similarly solicited multi-category food and produce commodities through standing IFBs. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, though state agencies, correctional departments, and municipal nutrition centers also procure under related codes. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard across these opportunities, and vendors must supply HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and debarment certifications.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Northeast, with recent solicitations posted from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) posted their fresh produce IFB on June 10, 2026, with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites across the 2026–27 contract year. The City of Bridgeport's commodities IFB closed June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for delivery to its nutrition center through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia's broader food and kitchen products solicitation closed June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. These solicitations favor single-award or multi-award structures and accept firm, fixed pricing with no price escalation except where major market changes occur with 30 days' notice and buyer approval. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days.
