UNSPSC 50325811: Dried black bullace plum

The variety of plums known as black bullace plum that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325811 Dried black bullace plum is a Commodity code that captures school nutrition programs' procurement of dried fruit and specialty produce items for cafeteria operations. The source opportunities show school districts and state correctional systems buying fresh and processed agricultural commodities in bulk for meal preparation, though the recent opportunities emphasize fresh produce and broader food categories rather than dried bullace plums specifically. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state education and corrections departments (Georgia and Texas), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of school nutrition centers. All recent solicitations impose the Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance certification, proof of debarment clearance, product formulation statements, and commercial general liability insurance; some jurisdictions (Bridgeport) also enforce MBE/CBE certification requirements under local ordinance.
