UNSPSC 50337025: Dried organic plantains

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

UNSPSC 50337025 Dried organic plantains is a Commodity code that classifies dried fruit products for institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code purchases dried and processed fruit items—including dried plantains, prunes, raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, and mixed dried fruits—to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public institutions. Recent solicitations show purchasing offices are acquiring both commodity-grade dried fruits (such as bulk raisins and cranberries in high-volume cases) and specialty processed items (such as individually packaged dried fruit snacks for school meals). Issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school systems), county boards of education, state departments of criminal justice, and county sheriffs' offices operating detention facilities. School nutrition programs are the dominant buyer segment, with multiple recent RFPs and IFBs from independent school districts and consolidated school systems requiring annual dried fruit supply to serve thousands of daily meal participants.

Geographic activity centers in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce on June 26, 2026, that spans fruit staples including dried items; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting cafeteria food products via IFB No. 304T-26-300CF with response due May 4, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts—raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans—for correctional food services with bids due February 5, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services, due February 18, 2026, and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, represent large-scale multi-item food procurement that typically encompasses dried fruits among broader grocery categories. Buy American Act compliance requiring domestic sourcing and processing is a standard contract requirement across jurisdictions.
