UNSPSC 50325832: Dried gar red plums

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

UNSPSC 50325832 Dried gar red plums, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The code's theoretical product line — dried gar red plums as a singular specialty food item — does not appear in any of the recent solicitations returned. School districts, state departments, and criminal justice agencies soliciting under this code are actually buying broad fresh produce and commodity food portfolios spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples for cafeteria and food-service operations, with dried plums or similar specialty dried fruits appearing only incidentally within larger fresh and processed food line-item rosters. The issuing bodies are school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), a state department (Georgia), and a state criminal justice agency (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), all procuring supplies for institutional food service rather than specialty food retail or ingredient supply.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most recent solicitations posted between May and June 2026. The Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce in June 2026 with a due date of June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh fruits and vegetables for delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities on June 2, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 deadline, spanning 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce, with an extended due date of May 4, 2026. A fifth opportunity from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes closed February 20, 2026, but represents the sole recent solicitation directly targeting a specific dried fruit commodity. The code shows limited alignment with actual procurement demand.
