UNSPSC 50337001: Dried organic akee

The type of organic fruit known as organic akee that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50337001 Dried organic akee is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a single specialty produce item—dried, organic akee fruit—yet the opportunities posted under this code span broad fresh produce, processed grocery items, and food service contracting for school districts, correctional facilities, and county school systems across multiple states. Recent solicitations show substantial procurements of fresh apples, berries, vegetables, frozen proteins, dairy, grains, and other staple commodities for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, with no mention of akee (dried or fresh, organic or conventional) in any of the twelve opportunities posted since January 2026.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC classification or a misconfiguration in the state and local procurement databases tagging these opportunities. School districts and county education agencies dominate the issuing-body mix—Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), 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)—alongside institutional buyers including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Corrections. Georgia accounts for the heaviest recent concentration, with four separate school district and regional cooperative procurements. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for mixed commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026), and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility (due February 5, 2026). Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
