UNSPSC 50325822: Dried dolly plums

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

UNSPSC 50325822 Dried dolly plums, a Commodity code, covers dried plum products procured by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried prunes and related dried fruit products as line items within broader cafeteria and nutrition center procurement. The work involves supplying dried fruit meeting USDA grade specifications (typically Grade A or B), packed in sealed food-grade containers with specified portion sizes, and delivered to institutional distribution points or end-user locations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional customers. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations.
