UNSPSC 50325821: Dried damson plum

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

UNSPSC 50325821 Dried damson plum is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to this specific product. The source contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried damson plums; instead, the opportunities reference broader food procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities that may encompass dried fruit as one line item among hundreds. The one solicitation closest to the code scope—Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids for Dried Fruits and Nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026)—includes dried cranberries, dried tropical fruit mix, raisins, walnuts, and pecans, but does not name dried damson plums specifically. A second opportunity, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026), procures a closely related dried stone fruit but again is not the damson plum commodity itself. These dried-fruit-inclusive opportunities span correctional food services and school nutrition, but they do not isolate damson plums as a discrete line item or primary procurement object.

School districts and correctional authorities represent the primary issuing bodies buying dried fruits in state and local procurement, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs dominate the volume, with multi-hundred-line-item grocery and fresh-produce solicitations that treat dried fruit as an incidental component rather than a focused procurement category. The broader food-supply opportunities are active across spring 2026 with response dates in February through June 2026, but none explicitly target damson plums. Firms pursuing this commodity code should expect that actual buying occurs within large, integrated food service contracts rather than standalone dried-fruit RFPs, and direct market presence in school nutrition and correctional food service distribution networks is likely the primary path to opportunity identification under this code.
