UNSPSC 50325819: Dried casselman plums

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

UNSPSC 50325819 Dried casselman plums, Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity — the source records no solicitations explicitly requesting this product.

The recent opportunities tagged to food service procurement at state and local levels instead focus on broad fresh produce categories, general grocery supplies, and miscellaneous dried fruits and nuts. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued a June 2, 2026 IFB for 115 commodity items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the County of Santa Clara, California solicited dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) via ITB on January 28, 2026, for correctional facility food services. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and produce, and issued a separate bid (IW236532) in April 2026 for whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B specifications — the closest match to dried fruit procurement, though prunes rather than casselman plums. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside state correctional agencies and county nutrition programs.

The geographic concentration spans California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia across multiple school districts and state agencies. The code's nominal scope — dried casselman plums — does not align with the actual procurement activity present in the source. Buyers in this space are pursuing broader fresh produce contracts, general grocery supply agreements, and miscellaneous dried fruit products, but no opportunity explicitly names casselman plums or comparable specialty dried stone fruits. Vendors in dried fruit categories should monitor school nutrition solicitations for fresh and processed fruit line items and dried-fruit product calls from correctional and detention food services, but should not expect direct demand for this specific commodity code.
