UNSPSC 50325806: Dried autumn pride plums

The variety of plums known as autumn pride plums that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325806 Dried autumn pride plums is a Commodity code that describes fresh and processed fruit products procured by state and local governments, though recent state and local solicitations show little activity specifically targeting dried plums. The recent opportunities tagged with this code or closely related dried-fruit categories span school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and general grocery procurement for public institutions. School districts dominate the buying landscape, issuing multi-item produce and grocery solicitations that bundle dried fruits with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples rather than purchasing dried plums as a standalone line item. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), 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) all posted IFBs and RFPs for broad-based food supply contracts in early 2026, typically with sealed bid submission and response dates ranging from February through June 2026. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products (Solicitation 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) and a Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY260617, due February 5, 2026) represent the correctional and detention-facility segment. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the State of Georgia also solicited food commodities for school and institutional nutrition in June 2026.

The geographic footprint of recent activity clusters heavily in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Most opportunities require firm-fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods, weekly or biweekly delivery to multiple school or institutional sites, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP certification, and insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in commercial general liability. A representative recent example is Hancock County Schools' Nutrition Fresh Produce solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), which encompassed over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, root vegetables, and citrus but did not specifically isolate dried plums from the broader produce basket. Similarly, the Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) named dried raisins, dried cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with annual volumes of 1,000 to 5,880 cases but made no reference to dried autumn pride plums. School districts typically bundle dried-fruit purchases into master grocery or produce contracts evaluated on lowest responsive bid, with awards often made to single or multiple vendors by line item. No incumbent vendors or specific budget allocations appear in the source materials for this commodity.
