UNSPSC 50325841: Dried interspecific type plums

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

UNSPSC 50325841 Dried interspecific type plums is a Commodity code that represents dried plum products, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code is minimal and poorly aligned with the code's narrow scope. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit fresh produce, processed grocery items, and general food supply for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities rather than dried plums specifically. The one exception—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid (IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, packed in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus Christi location—represents the only concrete dried-fruit procurement aligned with the code's nominal scope, though that solicitation closed February 20, 2026. School districts and county nutrition programs issuing under this code are actually buying fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, canned goods, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees in large volumes rather than specialized dried fruit products.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department in California), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, California, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty produce; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, closed February 5, 2026) for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to the county jail. The mismatch between this code's narrow dried-plum specification and the broad grocery and fresh-produce scope of recent opportunities signals that tagging to this Commodity code may reflect clerical or system error rather than genuine procurement intent for dried interspecific plums.
