UNSPSC 50336502: Dried organic black sapotes

The variety of organic sapotes known as organic black sapotes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336502 Dried organic black sapotes (Commodity) is a narrow food-products code that state and local governments rarely solicit under directly; recent activity shows school districts and state correctional systems buying mixed fresh and dried produce through broader commodity RFPs and IFBs rather than targeting this specific dried-fruit category. The Hancock County Board of Education fresh-produce RFB (due June 26, 2026) lists over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items delivered to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year, and the City of Bridgeport's Board of Education commodities bid (due June 26, 2026) similarly covers 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement through the Statewide Procurement Division (due May 4, 2026) encompasses approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, canned and fresh vegetables, and fruits for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. These solicitations follow the Buy American provision, require HACCP plans, USDA compliance, and E-Verify authorization, and are awarded to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value. The issuing bodies mix school nutrition programs (independent school districts and city boards of education) and state correctional foodservice operations; repeat buyers include Hancock County Board of Education and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, including Hancock County, and Connecticut) and Texas, with the State of Georgia issuing a broader food supplies RFP (due June 22, 2026) whose full scope is available only in an attached 12 MB document. A secondary Texas TDCJ solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532, bid opening revised to February 20, 2026) specifies U.S. Grade B prunes in 60–70 count size, packed 25 pounds per box, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location, though this opportunity's response date has passed. The code shows limited recent targeting across posted opportunities; when dried fruit appears in state and local school and corrections foodservice solicitations, it typically falls within broader produce or commodity line-item groupings rather than as a standalone procurement.
