UNSPSC 50336500: Dried organic sapotes

The type of organic fruit known as organic sapotes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336500 Dried organic sapotes is a Class code that encompasses fresh and processed produce items procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public agencies. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy dried fruits, fresh produce, and specialty food items under this code to supply cafeteria operations, school lunch programs, and institutional feeding services. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies (State of Georgia). The scope of recent work spans fresh produce for school nutrition centers—including apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items—as well as dried and processed fruits such as prunes. All solicitations enforce the Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and most impose firm fixed pricing for the contract term, delivery to specified institutional locations, HACCP or food safety compliance, and comprehensive vendor documentation including food safety certifications and proof of insurance.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce (IFB #SN002-2027, Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia, due June 26, 2026); Commodities for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, due June 26, 2026); and cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic areas (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, due May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2). A fourth opportunity, the State of Georgia food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), references attached specifications not fully detailed in the available summary. The code shows modest but steady activity; however, the recent opportunities mix fresh produce, processed foods, and dried fruits under a single code designation, suggesting procurement offices may tag multi-category institutional food buys with this code even when specific line items (such as dried prunes or fresh apples) differ from the code's nominal name.
