UNSPSC 50325824: Dried early rosa plums

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

UNSPSC 50325824 Dried early rosa plums (Commodity) encompasses dried fruit products procured by school districts and state correctional facilities, grounded in recent activity ranging from fresh produce contracts that include dried fruit as a specialty line item to dedicated dried-fruit solicitations. State and local governments source these items primarily through school nutrition programs (both local school boards and state education cafeteria operations) and correctional-facility food services. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted separate IFBs for specific dried-fruit items such as whole pitted dried prunes meeting USDA Grade B specifications, while school districts including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicit fresh and specialty produce portfolios that encompass dried fruit alongside fresh vegetables and fruits. Dried fruit purchases are typically subject to Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, USDA grade certification, and firm fixed pricing for the contract term with transportation and handling included.

Recent procurement activity for dried-fruit items appears primarily in the South, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and Georgia school systems as visible buyers. The most concrete recent opportunity is TDCJ Bid No. IW236532, issued April 23, 2026, for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with minimum order of 1,400 boxes (25 pounds each) to the Corpus Christi location, originally due February 20, 2026, following Amendment No. 1. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) solicited fresh-produce IFB #SN002-2027 posted June 10, 2026 with response due June 26, 2026, encompassing specialty items (kiwis, mangos, papayas, starfruit) but not dried plums specifically. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued RFQ BNB053266 (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for a broad commodities portfolio to supply school nutrition, also covering fresh and processed fruits but not dried plums by name. Dried early rosa plums specifically show limited recent named solicitation activity under this Commodity code.
