UNSPSC 50335902: Dried organic granada pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50335902 Dried organic granada pomegranates is a Commodity code for specialty dried fruit products that state and local food service operations procure for nutrition programs and institutional meal service. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities sourcing dried and specialty produce items alongside fresh and processed foods as part of comprehensive food supply contracts, though the specific dried pomegranate commodity itself appears infrequently in individual line-item bids. The work encompasses procurement of packaged dried fruit meeting USDA grade certifications, packaging specifications, shelf-life requirements, and compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic content for processed foods—typically 51 percent for processed products under National School Lunch Act rules. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (independent school districts and boards of education managing cafeteria contracts), state corrections departments procuring institutional food supplies, and state purchasing offices coordinating multi-site food service procurement across criminal justice facilities.

Recent opportunities show activity in Georgia and Texas, with school districts in Mississippi and Connecticut also soliciting produce and food commodities contracts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse areas, encompassing approximately 382 line items with firm pricing due by May 4, 2026; an earlier TDCJ bid (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia released IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across 200-plus line items with bids due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities bid (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, spanning 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. All contracts enforce Buy American compliance, HACCP or USDA verification, and firm-fixed pricing with delivery to designated sites; awards typically go to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best-value evaluation.
