UNSPSC 50325827: Dried elephant heart plums

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

UNSPSC 50325827 Dried elephant heart plums, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates a specific dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried elephant heart plums. One opportunity—the County of Santa Clara's procurement for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026)—specifies dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis, with no mention of elephant heart plums. The remaining nine recent opportunities solicited fresh produce, frozen foods, general grocery items, and cafeteria staples for school districts, state corrections systems, and county governments across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and California—none naming this specific dried plum variety or close equivalents.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests minimal current opportunity under this Commodity code. School districts and correctional systems issuing food service contracts in the past six months have focused on bulk fresh produce, standard dried fruits (raisins, cranberries), nuts, and general grocery lines rather than specialty dried plum varieties. Firms targeting this code should monitor whether state purchasing cooperatives, correctional food service programs, or school nutrition services begin incorporating elephant heart plums into broader fresh or dried fruit solicitations, but current signals indicate this remains a niche product line with limited near-term demand in state and local procurement.
