UNSPSC 50325813: Dried black giant plums

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

UNSPSC 50325813 Dried black giant plums is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its narrow scope. The code covers whole, pitted dried plums in specified sizes and packaging for institutional food service use. Recent opportunities in the source show school districts, county correction departments, and state agencies soliciting dried fruit products, but most fall outside the precise dried-black-giant-plum category. One exception is the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department Correctional Food Services solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), which procured dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix for Elmwood Correctional Facility on a multi-year contract; the scope included all-or-none bidding on five line items with firm pricing for Year 1 and optional increases in Years 2–5 capped at a maximum percentage specified at bid. A second tangentially relevant opportunity is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dried prunes solicitation (IW236532, due February 20, 2026), which called for U.S. Grade B whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1 and USDA grade certification required. Both procurement examples underscore that institutional buyers (correction departments, school nutrition programs) do bid dried fruit products, but the sourcing is highly episodic and driven by specific operational needs rather than continuous annual demand.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with sporadic opportunities in California and broader school district procurement across the South and Midwest. The buyer mix is dominated by school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia) seeking comprehensive grocery and fresh produce, plus state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff). Most school district solicitations emphasize fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables rather than dried fruits; when dried products appear, they are typically limited line items within broader food-supply contracts. The dried-fruit-focused opportunities are rare, and the code shows no recent activity suggesting sustained or growing procurement under UNSPSC 50325813 specifically.
