UNSPSC 50325812: Dried black diamond plums

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

UNSPSC 50325812 Dried black diamond plums is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruit products for school nutrition programs and correctional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and county agencies purchasing dried fruits—including dried plums, prunes, raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends—as standalone commodity items or as components of broader fresh produce and grocery contracts. The mix of issuing bodies spans K-12 school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department in California, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city school nutrition services (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple jurisdictions using IFBs and RFPs to procure dried fruits as part of annual nutrition contracts under Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 fresh and specialty produce line items delivered to three school locations, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dried prunes IFB (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) for whole pitted Grade B prunes in 60–70 count size at 1,400 boxes minimum for the Corpus location, and the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for Elmwood Correctional Facility with a five-year term and five percent local business preference. Pricing in school district procurements is firm fixed throughout the contract period; correctional facilities similarly require fixed pricing with optional annual increases capped by bidder specification. All solicitations mandate USDA compliance, HACCP certifications where applicable, and compliance with federal wage and hour laws and debarment regulations. No incumbent vendors are identified across the recent opportunities, signaling open competitive access.
