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 covering dried stone fruits procured by state and local school districts and correctional facilities for institutional nutrition programs. School districts and state departments of corrections solicit dried prunes and plums as components of cafeteria food service contracts, typically bundled within larger fresh and processed produce or food commodity RFBs that specify packaging, USDA grade certification, case sizes, and delivery schedules. Recent solicitations reflect a focus on bulk dried fruit meeting Grade B or equivalent quality standards, packed in sealed food-grade containers with USDA certification and stamping requirements, delivered FOB destination to multiple institutional warehouse or distribution points.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), both issuing IFBs in June 2026 for comprehensive fresh and processed produce portfolios that include dried fruits as line items within broader nutrition center supply contracts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted two separate solicitations—Bid No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations, and Bid No. IW236532 in April 2026 specifically for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes per delivery area. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with the State of Georgia also posting a general food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) in May 2026. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content are standard in school nutrition procurement; USDA compliance, HACCP plans, and liability insurance are routine requirements. Most school district contracts run July through June with firm pricing for the full term and 30-day payment windows.
