UNSPSC 50325840: Dried howard sun plums

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

UNSPSC 50325840 Dried Howard Sun Plums, a Commodity code, encompasses dried plum products procured by state and local education and corrections agencies to support nutrition programs and inmate meal services. State and local governments under this code buy dried fruit commodity items as components of broader food service procurement — the code shows minimal standalone activity, with dried plums appearing as individual line items within larger, diverse food supply solicitations rather than as the primary focus of procurement. School districts and corrections departments issue these solicitations, typically bundling dried fruits with fresh produce, proteins, grains, and prepared foods under master grocery or food supply contracts.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary presence in Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (Dried Fruits and Nuts), posted January 28, 2026 with a February 5, 2026 response deadline, soliciting dried fruits including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for the Sheriff's Department Correction—Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Bid No. IW236532 (Prunes—Corpus Location), posted April 23, 2026 with a February 20, 2026 due date, requesting whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, minimum 1,400 boxes per delivery area. School district examples include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB #SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce, 2026–27), posted June 10, 2026 with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, encompassing over 200 fresh produce line items but no dried plums specifically, and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K–12), posted April 6, 2026 with April 27, 2026 bids due, establishing grocery product supply across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Buy American and nutritional compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP plans, food safety certifications) appear consistently across solicitations, and most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annual cycles with firm fixed pricing and renewal options extending two to four years.
