UNSPSC 50335600: Dried organic pineapples

A tropical monocotyledonous plant (ananas comosus of the family bromeliaceae, the pineapple family) that has rigid spiny-margined recurved leaves and a short stalk with a dense oblong head of small abortive flowers. The large edible multiple fruit of the pineapple that consists of the sweet succulent fleshy inflorescence that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335600 Dried organic pineapples, a Class code, covers dehydrated and preserved pineapple products procured by state and local government nutrition and food-service programs. However, the recent solicitation activity tagged under this code shows minimal direct relevance to dried pineapples specifically. Recent opportunities under this code have centered on broad food-commodity procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staple items rather than specialty dried fruit. School districts and state departments of corrections represent the primary issuing bodies, with occasional activity from municipal food-service networks; these entities typically consolidate produce and commodity sourcing into annual or multi-year IFBs rather than line-item specialty buys.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, IFB due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (COMMODITIES, IFB due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (FOOD, SUPPLIES, AND OTHER KITCHEN PRODUCTS, IFB due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division (Cafeteria Food Products, IFB due May 4, 2026; Prunes—Corpus Location, IFB due February 20, 2026) represent recent buyers. These solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery to multiple warehouse or school sites, HACCP and nutritional certifications, and standard 30-day payment terms. The code shows activity but does not appear to be driving dedicated procurement for dried pineapple as a distinct line item.
