UNSPSC 50325801: Dried amber jewel plums

The variety of plums known as amber jewel plums that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325801 Dried amber jewel plums is a Commodity code that reflects minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking dried amber jewel plums; instead, the identified opportunities span fresh produce, cafeteria food products, dried fruits and nuts broadly, and main-line food service distribution. One solicitation—Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids for Dried Fruits and Nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026)—covers dried fruit categories but names only dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix, with no mention of dried plums of any varietal. The broader activity under related codes shows school districts and correctional facilities purchasing fresh and processed produce through IFBs and RFPs, but state and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring dried amber jewel plums as a standalone line item or named commodity.

The absence of specific procurement activity for this commodity code suggests either low demand or potential miscoding in the source data. School nutrition programs—the dominant buyers in the produce-related solicitations—focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, and commodity proteins rather than specialty dried fruits. Correctional food services, represented by Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County's detention facilities, procure dried fruits in aggregate categories (raisins, cranberries, tropical mixes) but do not isolate amber jewel plums. Geographic activity in food procurement spans Georgia, California, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, but none of the issuing bodies or opportunities explicitly reference dried amber jewel plums as a procurement target. A firm pursuing this code should verify whether the commodity itself sees regular state and local demand or whether opportunities under related dried-fruit categories represent the actual market.
