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 representing fresh and processed fruit products procured by school districts and state correctional and food service agencies. State and local governments buy dried fruit—particularly prunes and other dried plum varieties—for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies soliciting fresh produce and commodity food items in bulk for cafeteria operations, with dried fruits appearing as line items alongside fresh vegetables, proteins, and staple goods. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education purchasing, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition centers. The mix tilts heavily toward K–12 school nutrition programs and state institutional food service, reflecting USDA-regulated procurement under Buy American provisions and the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
