UNSPSC 50325816: Dried blackamber plums

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

UNSPSC 50325816 Dried blackamber plums, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly matching its narrow product scope. The single state and local opportunity explicitly referencing dried plums appears in broader fresh-produce and food-supply solicitations for K-12 school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, where dried fruits are procured as components of larger nutritional or commodity packages rather than as standalone line items. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code—primarily school districts and county departments of education—source dried fruits as snack items, meal components, or bulk staples to meet USDA nutritional guidelines and Buy American domestic-content thresholds in child nutrition programs. The code shows minimal direct activity; recent opportunities tagged to dried fruits generally roll dried plums, raisins, cranberries, and similar items into broader produce or commodity RFPs rather than issuing dedicated solicitations for dried blackamber plums alone.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas, with school nutrition programs in Georgia and Missouri showing the most frequent food-commodity solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items with delivery to three school sites in Sparta, Georgia (due June 26, 2026); the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts—raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—to supply the Elmwood Correctional Facility (bid due February 5, 2026); and the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery items including snacks and dried fruits for the 2026-27 school year (bids due April 29, 2026). The narrow specificity of UNSPSC 50325816 to a single dried-fruit variety means most opportunities subsume this category under broader food-supply or produce-family codes, limiting dedicated sourcing activity for dried blackamber plums at the state and local level.
