UNSPSC 50335604: Dried organic kona sugarloaf pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50335604 Dried organic kona sugarloaf pineapple is a Commodity code nominally scoped to specialty tropical fruit procurement. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with dried organic pineapple. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition solicitations and institutional food service contracts that span fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and packaged goods across multiple line items—with pineapple (fresh or dried) appearing as one item among dozens or hundreds rather than as a focused procurement target. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus fruits for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response deadline; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut similarly bid 115 line-item commodity packages for its Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items (proteins, grains, dairy, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits) with a May 4, 2026 response deadline. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts, city education departments, and state correctional and institutional food service operations—jurisdictions that buy commodity-bundled produce and food rather than specialty dried fruit as standalone procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the Texas TDCJ representing the largest scope (382 line items, multiple warehouse distribution points, multi-year contract through August 31, 2029 with optional renewals). The Hancock County Schools opportunity (Georgia), the Bridgeport Board of Education bid (Connecticut), and the Georgia state food supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) represent representative school nutrition procurement. All posted opportunities enforce Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), require USDA compliance and health inspection records, and mandate HACCP or nutritional documentation. The code shows limited concentration around dried organic kona sugarloaf pineapple as a distinct procurement driver; firms pursuing this code should expect to bid as part of larger fresh and processed produce or commodity food packages rather than as specialty single-item vendors.
