UNSPSC 50325817: Dried burgundy plums

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

UNSPSC 50325817 Dried burgundy plums is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs and correctional facility cafeterias. Recent solicitations show school districts and state departments of criminal justice procuring dried plums as standalone items and as components within broader food commodity packages to support meal preparation. The work involves meeting USDA grade and quality standards, packaging specifications, and compliance with Buy American provisions for processed agricultural products, with delivery to multiple institutional locations and firm pricing maintained across contract terms.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix under this code, including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, alongside state-level corrections and general food service procurements. Georgia and Texas show the most recent activity, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing a standalone dried prunes solicitation (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) specifying U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, minimum order 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location. The Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh and specialty produce across multiple categories for school year 2026–27 (responses due June 26, 2026), with delivery to three school sites and firm pricing for the full 12-month contract period. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also solicited a broad commodity package including fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026, IFB BNB053266) for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) that included dried plums among its line items. All solicitations enforce domestic content requirements, HACCP or USDA compliance certification, and insurance documentation.
