UNSPSC 50335603: Dried organic hilo pineapple

The variety of organic pineapples known as organic hilo pineapple that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335603 Dried organic hilo pineapple is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and processed fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other public food-service operations. State and local governments buy dried and fresh produce under this code to supply cafeteria meal programs, with school districts and state correctional systems as the primary issuing bodies. Recent opportunities show school nutrition centers soliciting multiple varieties of fresh fruits (berries, citrus, melons, specialty items like kiwis and mangos) and processed fruit products under consolidated food-service RFPs and IFBs. The scope spans dried fruits (such as prunes) and fresh produce delivered on firm fixed-price contracts with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content of 51 percent for processed items. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, and product formulation statements; contracts typically run annual terms (July to June for school year procurement) with delivery to multiple school or institutional sites and payment net 30 to 45 days after invoice and inspection.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and school districts as repeat buyers. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia, IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including specialty items, due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, IFB for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products, IFB, due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, due May 4, 2026, and IFB No. IW236532 for dried prunes, due February 20, 2026).
