UNSPSC 50325842: Dried jamaican plum

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

UNSPSC 50325842 Dried Jamaican Plum (Commodity) represents a narrow food ingredient category that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. However, recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically for dried jamaican plum; instead, the opportunities posted against this code reflect broader fresh produce and food commodities procurement. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and specialty items such as kiwis, mangos, and papayas for the 2026–27 school year, with responses due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 line items of commodity food products including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and fresh and canned vegetables for five geographic warehouse areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. School districts and state correctional systems dominate the issuing bodies under this code.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. The Hancock County Schools opportunity serves three school locations in central Georgia; Bridgeport's nutrition procurement serves a single delivery point in Connecticut; and the TDCJ cafeteria foods solicitation spans six distribution points across Texas with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination terms. A separate Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for whole, pitted dried prunes with a 1,400-box minimum order for Corpus Christi (due February 20, 2026, now closed) illustrates that dried fruit procurement under related codes does occur within correctional systems, but the recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations specifically for dried jamaican plum at the commodity level. All active school nutrition and institutional food procurements require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products), HACCP plans or USDA compliance certification, and firm fixed pricing for the contract term.
