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 (Commodity) does not map clearly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit product, yet the recent opportunities in the source are dominated by broad-based school nutrition and correctional food service solicitations spanning hundreds of line items across multiple food categories—fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, eggs, and miscellaneous staples—with only two opportunities naming dried fruit products at all, and neither specifying bullace plums. The Douglas County School System RFP for dried fruits and nuts (January 2026) called for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans; the County of Santa Clara ITB for dried fruits and nuts (January 2026) requested the same product set. Neither referenced black bullace plums or any plum variety. School districts and correctional facilities procuring under generic dried-fruit or commodity food codes appear to source dried fruits as ingredient items within larger nutrition contracts rather than as standalone Commodity-level line items.

State and local food procurement under this code originates primarily from school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), with secondary activity from correctional authorities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara Sheriff Department) and municipal school nutrition operations (City of Bridgeport). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and California, with outlier Connecticut activity. The absence of bullace plum–specific solicitations, combined with the structural mismatch between the narrow Commodity code and the actual purchasing behavior (which treats dried fruits as cost-line items within comprehensive annual food-supply contracts rather than standalone procurement targets), suggests limited independent commercial opportunity at this code level. Vendors seeking entry into the dried-fruit category should target the broader Family or Class codes encompassing food supply distribution; individual dried-fruit varieties appear to be sourced on a needs basis as part of larger competitive nutrition contracts where brand or product substitution is routine.
