UNSPSC 50335901: Dried organic foothill pomegranates

The variety of organic pomegranates known as organic foothill pomegranates that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335901 Dried organic foothill pomegranates is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work currently being solicited under this classification by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span fresh produce, grocery staples, and institutional food service supply—apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public institutions—rather than dried pomegranates specifically. The code's nominal product line does not align with the diverse food procurement activity posting under it, suggesting either misclassification in source systems or a mismatch between the taxonomy and actual buying patterns. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all seeking annual food contracts; other frequent buyers include state departments and correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara Department of Correction).

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with Georgia and the broader South generating the most visible activity, followed by California, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce for the 2026-27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's IFB for commodities (due June 26, 2026) spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education nutrition center; and the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) supplying raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to its correctional facility. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed foods are standard across school nutrition procurements, as are HACCP certification, E-Verify authorization, and firm-fixed pricing. Award patterns favor single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid, with contract terms typically spanning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with optional renewals.
