UNSPSC 50337006: Dried organic canistel

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

UNSPSC 50337006 Dried organic canistel, a Commodity code, does not align with the active state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The 13 recent solicitations tagged to this code all pursue fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and dried fruits and nuts for school nutrition programs, detention facility food services, and regional food distribution — none specifically call for dried canistel or organic variants of specialty tropical fruits. The code's nominal scope (a single dried fruit commodity) conflicts sharply with the breadth of what is actually being bought under it in practice.

State and local procurement under this code is dominated by school district nutrition departments, county school systems, and corrections agencies across Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representatives include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB for fresh produce SY27 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting Master Grocery K-12 via IFB 2000004323 with bids due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) seeking grocery items for 2026–27 via electronic bid due April 29, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correction facility with bids due February 5, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) appeared twice—once for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $4.4 million for Area One alone) and again for main-line food supply and distribution (RFP due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (IFB due May 4, 2026) and whole pitted dried prunes (bid due February 20, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast (Georgia in particular, with five of the 13 recent opportunities), with secondary activity in Texas, California, and the mid-Atlantic. Most opportunities are IFBs or RFPs with annual or multi-year terms running July 1 through June 30, reflecting the school calendar. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products) are standard across school nutrition solicitations. No vendor names, award values, or incumbent contractors are disclosed in the source material.
