UNSPSC 50325842: Dried jamaican plum

The variety of plums known as jamaican plum that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325842 Dried jamaican plum is a Commodity code that classifies individual dried fruit line items procured for institutional food service, yet the recent state and local opportunities show little direct demand for this specific product. The recent solicitations characterize the broader dried fruit and produce procurement environment: school districts, county correctional facilities, and state agencies source fresh produce, frozen vegetables, dried fruits as categories within larger food supply contracts, and specialty dried items like prunes, raisins, cranberries, and mixed tropical fruit blends. The code's nominal scope—dried Jamaican plum as a standalone commodity—does not align with how state and local procurement bodies structure these buys; instead, they issue RFPs and IFBs for master grocery contracts, fresh produce programs, and broad food service distribution that may reference dried fruits as a single line item among hundreds. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly independent school districts and consolidated county school systems in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia. State agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia) and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff) also procure food supplies in bulk. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) represent repeat buyers pursuing comprehensive grocery and produce contracts in the first half of 2026.

Geographically, the recent activity clusters in the Southeast and South, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham) filing multiple solicitations, followed by Texas (Department of Criminal Justice, Comptroller of Public Accounts), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB for Fresh Produce SY27 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, encompassing over 200 produce line items with sealed bid opening June 29, 2026), County of Santa Clara ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026, requesting raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year contract with local business preference), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). The Santa Clara County opportunity is the closest match to the Commodity code, specifying dried fruits as distinct line items, but dried Jamaican plum is not named.
