UNSPSC 50335904: Dried organic nana pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50335904 Dried organic nana pomegranates is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow slice of school district and institutional food procurement — fresh and dried fruit for cafeteria operations and nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show school districts and state criminal justice agencies buying fresh produce, dried fruit, and broader food commodities for student meals and institutional dining; the code's nominal focus on dried organic pomegranates does not align with the scope of recent solicitations, which center on fresh produce assortments and mixed dried fruits rather than a single specialty item. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city procurement offices acting on behalf of school nutrition programs. School lunch procurement dominates the recent activity, with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products and strict compliance with USDA grade standards.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, citrus, and leafy greens with firm pricing and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification applicable and electronic submission through the OpenGov Portal. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, with responses due May 4, 2026, and awards made by line item based on best value and delivery timeline. A second TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) targeted whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes; the response due date was February 20, 2026, and the contract specialist is Daton Splawn.
